When I first read this post, I was amused by it. I was in the check out line at the grocery today and I reviewed the articles listed on the front cover of various women's magazines. Almost all the articles had to do with appearance, clothes, or how to snare a man. These were national publications e.g. Cosmopolitan, Allure, Redbook and three others of which I can't remember the names. As the father of a young (22) southern woman ,she graduated from college this month, I can verify that she and her friends care about their appearance but their lives are not centered around men. Being grungy in appearance and wearing combat boots never made it in the Atl suburbs. I don't think she and her friends would consider that to be 'progressive'.

They do it to mesh with other immigrants and to get jobs. These generally are more abundant in larger, more urban areas. Jobs follow people and people follow jobs. That is why rural areas lose population and urban areas gain population.

There are definite similarities between speech patterns in England and the South. The South was settled more by people of British origin than any other European area. The soft vowel sounds of England and what I call the old aristocracy of the South are similar.

My ancestors going back to my great great grandparents were all of English/Scottish lineage. My father, now deceased, used speech patterns and phrases I have seen in English movies and would be considered atypical of contemporary U.S. speech.
