There is no sourcing of the information in this article. I'm a lifelong Dallas-area resident, and I've never heard anyone, elderly or not, use language like "hockey disk" or "waint." "Y'all" is more widespread in the Southern US, rather than just in Dallas. I've asked for verification from the article's author, who removed the "verify" tag, but didn't provide any sources.

- I've heard of "Texas accent," and "East Texas accent," and "West Texas accent," but I've never heard that there is a linguistic anomaly in Dallas itself. Joyous | Talk 15:42, 26 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Most of the information I found doing research showed nothing different than a general Texas accent, and even a few sources suggesting there is no such thing as a Dallas accent. Anyway, without sourcing it can't stay. I re-added the verify tag. Peyna 05:18, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
