Subject: RE: BS: Yankee or Dixie quiz
Well, kiss my grits! I guess I must be kin to General Cornpone himself, cuz I got 91% Dixie. I did have some trouble with some of the answers which are obviously not correct Southern answers. The word "caramel" has at least FIVE syllables--"Cay-uh-ruh-may-yull." Any good linguist knows that a Southerner adds a minimum of 3-4 syllables per word.
In the South,
when we'unz iz tarrd, we go to Bay-yud.
If'n we'z hongry, we'unz may-yuk a say-yundwuch wif bray-yud.
And of course, the true test of Southern grammar:
Q: What is the plural form of the term meaning an entire group of people?
A: All Y'all.
