How y’all doin? If you feel rooted where you live, your accent is likely to be stronger, a new study suggests (Reed, 2020). Appalachians use a rising pitch accent more often than southerners, but for both groups the rise is correlated with a “rootedness index.”

Fascinating! I had no idea
What would you say instead of “root for”? Like, is there something more colloquial than “support”?

Aw, thank you for your sweet words. Been working on my cross-training, trying to be a little less full-on cardio bunny, so “strong” is especially nice to hear.
