10. She's sounded that way for ages

It's really the way she talks but, yeah, it sort of sounds like she's had a few.

She's originally from Kentucky, but had to adapt to a Northeastern upper class private school way of speaking at Wellesley and whatever broadcast English training she did.

So you have a Northeastern phrasing and "society girl" pronunciation at a Southern pace.
