We add the letter R to words that we think need them.

I am so proud of my Yankee wife; she now calls us to supper by telling us to go warsh our hands.

Now she will tell you that she is fix'n supper or fix'n to do something and if she's doing something, she's working on it.

LOL! Gotta love it! :^D

My wife is Chinese and I met her sister before I met my future wife.

It is so great when I hear Chinese use the word "Ya'll". Glad I taught 'em that. :^D

Good, good woman. I'm sure she knows how to pronounce "Warshington", but have you told her about the usefullness of 'y'all', or even 'you all'? That's a serious question because I've noted that 'y'all' is dying out among our young, and the valuable plural 'you' disappeared long ago in all other English dialects while being preserved in the South.

Your screen name was the first Texas pronounciation I thought of when they brought up Pedernales, Burnet etc.
