Never met a girl named Nature, but.....ok !
Back in the Army at Ft Gordon Georgia I was in a small town near there and met a guy who said something to me.When I first moved up here to Hoosierland, after my whole life up to that point, being Texas born, bred, raised, burnt in and cultured, I was asked to say things over and over for a laugh.
I went along, noting that I had plenty of comebacks in grammar or lack thereof with which to work.
I was repeatedly asked to say, "Horse, bread, swing, damn," and many others.
I made sure to include "both syllables" in each word, cuz I knew how to do it right!
I would laugh along and ask why they dropped an infinitive verb in speech or something.
You cain't talk, I cain't talk. Let's argue about it.
Should've used Chinese hot mustard.

In Germany at my NATO assignment, we had a US Air Force admin NCO from some small town in Alabama. He would say something, and then the Germans, who spoke perfect technical English because they had been to all of our technical courses in CONUS, would look at me and ask me to translate because the only word they could make out was F***.When I first moved up here to Hoosierland, after my whole life up to that point, being Texas born, bred, raised, burnt in and cultured, I was asked to say things over and over for a laugh.

I'm from "upper north". I go home and my cousins think I talk like a hillbilly. Took a buddy up for a week of walleye fishing. After a couple days he was making fun of my "new" accent. Eh.That's wild...I grew up in southern Indiana and we talk, basically Kentuckian, and whenever I'd travel to the east or west coast people would assume I was from Texas lol...my step granddad, "Tex" Nix was from Shamrock, Texas and moved with my mamaw to New Albany about 25 years ago and his accent and ours was so close it was nearly indistinguishable.....
It's what cunning linguists call the "Hoosier apex"....
