I find it odd that you think I jumped to a conclusion. What I have done, rather, is show you that what you have said can be taken in more than one way, by providing a specific response to a specific possible meaning for your sentence...and you realize this, because you posted about it subsequently.
Your specificity about the South is insignificant because you stated that you couldn't "vouch for the rest of the country."
I'm in error because you used the word "most," which I ignored in my initial response.
You've not shown me a damned thing , and your comments have been pretty clear that you jumped to that conclusion. Others can read all of the comments and decide for themselves.
