Fun quiz!
I'm such an anomaly here in Alabama. My mom is from San Antonio, but I haven't lived there since I was 3. My dad and all his family are from Queens. I realized in high school that it was quite the crime to say "you's guys" down in the Deep South. :p Two of my roommates are originally from here, though, so every now and then a "y'all" will slip out when I'm around them. Eek.
And I need someone to call me up and pronounce the word 'caramel' in less than three syllables.
That cannot be done, can it??
LOL. Of course it can be done!
