I can't believe I'm reading such stupid comments about the South. I know alot of yankees who moved down south. There must be a reason right? People from the south don't move up north unless it business. Without us you guys don't win elections, part of those backward red states you know.
I have the same problem with a Massachusetts friend. I was hearing "Arthur" when she was saying "author." Man, was I confused for a while. It is humorous to some of us. Not one is at fault: that's just the way it is.
Too bad that you can't find any of this humorous, but instead feel that we are insulting you. Lot's of people out shopping today seemed to have chips on their shoulders. I said "Excuse me" to each person and I tried to smile through a 90 minute wait in the line to pay. I felt great and it is too bad that the others didn't have any holiday cheer. I hope tomorrow is a better day for you.
