It pegged me from the South, which is correct.... but I'm from New Orleans..... which doesn't ordinarily have a Southern accent attached to it. An olde truism is.... You have to travel north from New Orleans to arrive in The South!!
An amusing thread and I must add my thoughts. I grew up in Mississippi with a large family that did not place much importance on proper grammar - in fact we butchered the English language with what I now call "Redneckese" .
The ethnic variation of the local conversations added yet another facet of the spoken word in both pronunciation and meaning.
As I managed to advance in the world of academics I developed the necessary technique of a double standard of verbal and written communication.
To my chagrin I find that I now revert to my childhood vernacular more and more using words and expressions that seem to baffle many of my younger friends as well as amuse them.
