**Still chuckling at the Americans sounding like ducks comment**
I suppose with two languages as drastically different as those two it would only be natural for the two groups to think the others sound like some kind of animal.
Now about the Texas accent thing. We have a lot of different accents here. You can tell a Dallasite from a Houstonian from a person from West Texas.
Yes there are a lot of stupid inbred hick sounding folks but once you get into the more educated people the accent is still there but it's a bit more charming than annoying.
It's like the Georgian and Alabamian accents. The ignorant country folks sound terrible. But the educated Southerner while still thickly accented at least sound somewhat intelligent.
My Texas accent only shows up when I say things with r in them and of course y'all. Then it just comes out. I like to think a good Texas accent embodies not only our leisurely way of life(no we don't get into a big rush about anything), but also has a hint of quiet confidence. As we like to say..."It ain't braggin' if you can back it up."
