Question about English (US)
My wife always wanted to be a cook, and so she wants to see if it's possible to open an Oriental cooking school. I don't know how that would *go over in North Carolina, though.
Is it possible to say "that would be accepted" instead of "that would go over" in this context?

I wouldn't say "that would be accepted" in this context. In my opinion, it sounds weird.
'I don't know how that would go over in North Carolina, though" is perfect.
Also, we don't really say "Oriental" though. It's considered borderline offensive. We say Asian instead.
