People who said axed instead of asked.

Or people who say yesterdey instead of yesterday.

Saying dey as in dee Reynolds instead of day is extremely common here in the south, and it really drives me nuts.

"Axed" is used out of pure ignorance. "Yester-dee" is an accent.

Ya'll got sum maters & taters? Okay now there is a difference. I am a stickler for grammar & spelling. It takes me forever to post stuff because I will google search to be sure I spell something correctly. Then I get ticked off at myself when I go back later & find typos & of course have to fix them. I rarely call anyone else on their typos, spelling or grammar errors.......................well except for misspelling Camaro!

However, my southern drawl is an entirely different thing. I spent my early adulthood trying to lose it. Then a fellow graduate student taught me to embrace it, understand it's heritage/origin & cherish it as part of who I am. Soooooooooooooooo Ya'll can jest keess Ma grits!

Probably. Whatever. I'm not going to stress over spelling of how things are pronounced in southern drawl.

BTW when you want a dog to go away you say:

g'ofrmrndhr!!! (loudly) That one you really have to HEAR. LOL

pgustavson · 05-30-2014, 11:01 AM

Since we've drifted to the subject of pronunciation of words, here are a couple that don't appear to me to be region-based as I have heard many folks from various places and walks-of-life say them:

1. "momento" (moh-mento) instead of "memento" (meh-mento)
2. "foward" (foh-ward) instead of "forward" (four-ward)

At least the correct "you're" is used...that is if contraction use is considered "correct"

Why are there apostrophes in lines 2, 4, and 5?
