Sorry to burst your bubble guys, but I'm not actually from Missouri*.

That still doesn't change the attitude of your statement... sort of like me being accused of a southern accent after stationed in Mississippi for over a year, although I rarely strayed from Keesler; guilt by association.

Ya'll (tee hee), I moved to Atlanta 23 years ago from Illinois and people STILL ask me if I am from up north. I must not say "ya'll" correctly.

Southerners definitely knew I was from the north -- but I went home on leave and was informed I'd been affected by a twinge of the southern according to my New England relatives.
I'd assume it's similar for immigrants and extended stay foreigners. Whereas variant spelling is the main different here, the typing doesn't quite carry the accent; I've worked or known a few now living in the US and the accent is very apparent; if they go back for a visit, surely the homeland natives will notice a difference in the speech of the former natives.

You did not have much of a northern accent on the phone. Sounded like you would fit right in. Roll Eyes

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

That somewhat surprises me... must have been because we were connected through a southern phone line. I did, however, notice that, if you really weren't originally from southern Mississippi, that you weren't from much closer than northern Mississippi.

How true! I dislike sweet tea, however I LOVE Coca Cola (headquartered in Atlanta). Cool

Even better yet is the Sweetwater 420 pale ale brewed here locally. Cool

I hope that when the exclamation mark and the period go back to court for their sentencing they are punctual. Cheesy

Some of the words and the two commas were additionally charged for showing their clause; their defense attorneys insisted it was just a phrase they were going through. The court also reminded that any leniency was up to the judge and specifically told the commas, period and exclamation point that they were to follow the letter.
