Southern accents aren't as distinct as they once were. And I do mean accents.  Hollings had a noticeably different accent than Thurmond did, tho Fritz's Low Country accent was far from the strongest example of the type.  Accent varied more by locale than class, tho there was some correlation between the two if a particular place was seen as classier.  In the case of South Carolina, where the colonists originated from played a part.  My own part of South Carolina was settled in the 18th century mainly by Germans as is evidenced by the many Germanic family names around here and a much higher incidence of Lutheran churches than is usual in the South.

Also, newscasters never use "bring/brang/brung."
Why would they? They are not actors on the Beverly Hillbillies.
What do you have against people who use strong language?
