The influence of y'all
Results of the Yankee or Dixie dialect quiz:
84% (Dixie). Did you have any Confederate ancestors?
Well, while my earliest relations came to America in the early 1800s, I believe my direct ancestors came from Bohemia after the Civil War. I should ask about that.
Nevertheless, growing up in Louisiana has evidently turned me into a real Southern belle as far as dialect is concerned. And learning to drive in the Houston area affected my use of the word "feeder". ;)
