I was born and raised in Washington and came out 53% dixie. Must be my years in the Navy. I noticed I use the word "soda" now because the Navy does, but I used "pop" as a kid. This one threw me off:
-You all
-Youse
-You'uns, yins
-Y'all
Huh? I don't use any of those...

I spent my 1st 4 years in Florida, guess that's where I learned to talk right. I don't have an accent until I go back or talk to my uncle on the phone. Then it comes back immediately. It drives my wife nuts (she is from Seattle). I use the word coke even for orange soda.
Let's see... You all must be mid west, Youse maybe Chicago or Brooklyn, You'uns sounds to me like northeasters, and y'all is definitely deep south.
