Fucking exactly.
I have a very southern accent now, due to my parents being dirty defectors but damn it, I can do an excellent one when I want to and frequently do when I go home or speak to family. Oh, and I can't say 'bath' properly. Path and other '-ath' words I pronounce in the same way everyone round here does, but bath, never. Hmm.
