I'm willing to trust someone who uses the word y'all. It's my favorite word. :)
Ther you go, a fellow Southerner standing up for another. I knew I liked you.
i suppose.
(obviously being from the Rust Belt, for me to use "y'all" would just sound really hokey...)
but, i'd be a little more at home with people who use words like "brat" to refer to a certain grilled sausage and "bubbler" as a means of getting a drink; who follow the Packers and gun deer season religiously; and who drink Miller, Leinie's, Sprecher, Point, etc.
