What Kind of American English Do You Speak?

What do they mean 15% Yankee and 10% Dixie?
It should be the other way around.
I was born in Virginia and spent most of my summers in Virginia.
And Upper Midwestern?? No clue.

I thought I was going to be ahead of schedule
only to have the system drop out on us
just as I was working on my post.

So, I'm going to get to my round, quickly, before...
nope, didn't make it...dropped again.
This may take all day.
Hope I can get it posted in the "between" moment.
UGH!!!!

Please stay right where you are.
Keep the troops and their families entertained.

The Canteen is

Come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

Ah uh...found those hidden poles, didn’t you? Glad you were able to get a new blade and grass cut.

[beachn4fun]

I do know when to use you, y'all, and all y'all. The Queen would not be amused. But she would hold her own umbrella.

ROTFLOL

[beachn4fun]

I remember something odd. When I lived in Western Kansas, people were constantly asking if I was from Texas.

I agree with Kathy, probably a "south" thing. Some of us have a hard time with accents.
People think Marylanders have an accent ;)
