Of course to my Yankee ear it is pretty hard to tell the difference between the way people from central Fl and Virginia talk, though I am sure the actual differences are extensive and profound. I do think there tends to be kind of generic military dialect, particularly in the navy, that is vaguely southern and deeply imprints itself on those who have served for a while. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
