Dangit! Never could spell that right. I always thought it was "dudden." Serious story here. Before my husband and I got married his Mom commented on my Texas accent. (Dang Yankees) Anyway, she had the audacity to ask me if I had trouble learning to read and spell because we drop our "g"s. I told her "We don't spell it different, we just say it different." (LOVED using incorrect grammar just to tick her off.) Then I went on to mention that I graduated from high school with honors.
Sad thing is, it didn't make any difference. She still gives me grief about the way I talk. She better not get on to my kids though. Yes, please, correct them for incorrect grammar, but don't you DARE try to tell them that "fixin'" isn't a word because if you do, I'm fixin' to kick your butt! Ok /rant off Thanks for your patience. LOL
