Dropping the wrong 'g' and using y'all for singular is the sure sign of a Yankee writer!

Please...never change. this post had me laughing when reading the 'extreme' use of Southern words as they are spoken in the South. BTW 'Gone With the Wind' is my favorite movie of all time and I have to say, so is the book!!! I admit to being born a 'Yankee' but thank goodness I was raised in the South. Big smile here. Your posts are always a treat for these eyes and I love what and how you write. <br /><br />Much love,<br />JeanneJeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02496069719875179788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-25123810921695499982016-03-17T21:01:43.805-04:002016-03-17T21:01:43.805-04:00I am from West Virginia (yes, a state separate fro...I am from West Virginia (yes, a state separate from Virginia since 1863, and everybody else thinks WE'RE the ignorant ones). Lort, you know....hillbillies, bare feet, no teeth, and lots of ain'ts and cain'ts....<br />I remember when I was dancing with our state's ballet, and performing a comedy spoof of a classical piece was discussed as a possibility. Our director said in order to pull it off, there would have to be excellence and mastery of the piece first. I believe the same is true with dialogue in dialect. You do it very well. I can tell you're a woman of words. Carry on. :)<br />RitaRita C at Panoplyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351306074493103021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-9533863828782860572016-03-16T14:31:10.076-04:002016-03-16T14:31:10.076-04:00We live in a rural area where they say ain't a...We live in a rural area where they say ain't and use the wrong tense, like we seen... I tried to teach the young ones that ain't isn't a word and people will think you are a hillbilly etc. But, I'd never be rude enough to correct someone other than my family.That being said, I never enjoyed reading Mark Twain and all the vernacular. It makes me think of taking the family and son-in-law on a trip to Martha's Vineyard via Boston. Son in law said do you think they'll know we're from OK with our accent? I told him yes and sure enough a shopkeeper asked if we were from AL or GA. But your blog is a treat Rachel. I'm not complaining.donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-39320449310360272512016-03-16T13:44:06.269-04:002016-03-16T13:44:06.269-04:00LOL..

A friend of mine heard her husband's family using a certain name for a family member. She pronounced the name the same as she heard it. She finds out years later, actually while reading the lady's obituary, that her name was Millie....she had been saying Miley for over ten years. :):) Blessings, xoxo,SusieSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06425051654313691986noreply@blogger.com
