Thank God for Southerners that still say y'all.:)
My children don't and they're native Texans. But my grandmother (a native Texan, of course) would say things like, "I'd liefer do this", and use other old English words.
LOLOL! Thank you for the encouragement and for sharing that about your grandmother. I'm an old-timer - still say "Jeepers" - still call the fridge an "ice box" - and still talk with a Southern drawl, "you see lots of awl wells in Texas"
