I think it'd be important to stress in your guide that people from the country don't all speak like they have a mental disability like all of RCRP thinks. Plenty of "redneck" people in America just speak with a tint of southern. Being all hyperbolic with the stressed vowels when referring to southern Americans is like me being hyperbolic with outstretched and yellow teeth if I was RPing as a Brit.
Southern Americans have a distinctive accent, but it certainly ain't down to the point where you cannot understand shit of what they are saying. Like I said, It's distinctive, but you can easily understand what they're saying. That goes for people roleplaying ''rednecks'' with gibberish language, thinking it's redneck accent and slang. To even think of doing that is kind of disrespectful against people from southern or generally with a redneck type lifestyle, for example, modifying ''Do'' to ''Dew'' during speech and so on.
