    Well, I guess I'm a real Southern Belle-25% Dixie and 0% Yankee. Lawd have muhcy!

    There were a few choices on there that should have been expanded. For excample, I say soft drink-there was no place for that, and I've always heard to 'wrap' a house when putting toilet paper in the front yard, and that choice wasn't on there either. I think it was a bunch of damn Yankees that made up that quiz in the 1st place!;)

    I say roooof, not ruff. I say route like the word out, not root. I say schedule, not skedule. Also, I modify my speech depending on the crowd. In a party setting, I'll be a bit of a joker and use lots of slang, know w'm sayin? Its a-ite, I'm a let you know, what it is, homes, if I'm a go hang with my bro's, and chill, my shawty be chillin at the crib. I can feel it, s'all good. Props to my peeps.
    Preceding literary balderdash incontrovertably expresses the posit earlier posted regarding my individual variations in verbal communication styles. And on the other hand, I can sometimes do a passable Brit, Scot, or Irish accent. By no means brilliant, if you please, but I dare say its been a smash when the timing is spot on.

    How's it goin, eh?
    Later, dude.
