There's no one way to spell that word. That's why it's awesome.

Anyway... we southerners aren't all bad. We're just unique.

(I wasn't born in the south, but I've lived here for about 6 yrs now)

You All Are Not

I met this guy from South Carolina on outward bound and no one had a fucking clue what he said. The only thing I think I ever understood was when he said he was from Rockville south carolina. But he said it more like Yaim frum rochiovil sutcarlina

I used to live on Rockhill (probably where he was from.)

Rockhill, SC

I'm from Myrtle Beach SC.

And it's "Y'ALL" because it's a contraction of YOU ALL. Anyone with one-tenth of a brain and half an ounce of common sense, and a slippery grasp of the English language can figure that out.

And there is NOTHING wrong with being a tree-hugger. The tree by my house would be lonely otherwise. ;p

I think another Californian thing is our mindset of elitist snobbery. I know I'm better than everyone else; I just don't always act like it.

What're northwesterners? I.e. Seattle

Centraleers like me (Kansas) are boring. There's NOTHING to do where I live. There's no strip clubs, only a few bars, some grocery stores, etc. And people wonder why we hang out on the net a lot.

There's some good skinhead bands and a decent punker/skin scene out there in Kansas. And when I say skinhead, please everyone remain calm and refrain from acting stupid. Not all skins are neo-Nazis.

Y'all need to learn how's to be treatin rednecks with respect now ya'hear? Yeah ok, I say y'all all the time. When I moved to West Virginia people thought I talked wierd, originaly from Ohio. Now West Virginia isn't very south but it sure does seem like it. Duct tape WILL fix anything. Round hear we says, if ya can't duck it, f**k it. A friend of mine wrecked his car to make a Jackass video (Drinking) and his back end was the only thing damaged, so he got 6 rolls of Duct tape and covered the hind end, B-E-A-utiful. I alos believe I read someone said they say "axe" in stead of ask...now come on. A redneck, southerner, saying.....I gonna axe you a question. The only people I kow that use that are the ones who believe in crap, I mean rap, oh well, same thing.

rEdneks 4 life!

Grammatically, you are correct. However, because most people in the south can't spell anyway, (no offense to southerners) it doesn't matter.

However, since I was not born in the south, I have a pet peeve called grammar.

Incorrect grammar is the one thing that bugs me. Oh well.
