My sister-in-law from NC(who lives here in NJ) uses it all the time. Is the Stars And Stripes not good enough for Madame? Has every blessing of freedom and liberty you have enjoyed been under the Stars And Bars or the Stars And Stripes? Are you a ‘’Southerner’’ or an American? I’m not a “Northerner’’ or a “Yankee’’. I’m an American. What are you?
Doesn’t matter who uses it; anyone with a grade-school understanding of basic grammar knows such usage is incorrect.
Your questions don’t deserve an answer, except for one. Yes, I AM a Southerner and an American. I’ll live and die loving the South.
You say you’re not a Northerner/Yankee, just American, and yet you just posted that you’re glad you’re not us.
Which is it? Can’t have it both ways, LOL.
