My extended family is from the Piedmont region of North Carolina, with one cousin still living on the family farm established in the 19th Century.

He has a habit of haddin' a haitch in front a' some words that start with a vowel sound. But hit don't matter.


I grew up in South Florida before the Yankees took over and was taken aback the first time I heard someone say "youse guys".

If you watch a guy from the North try to sound like some stereotypical dumb guy he'll imitate a Southern accent. If you watch a guy from the South try to sound like some stereotypical dumb guy he'll imitate a Brooklyn accent.

Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
