Date: December 23, 2013 10:07PM That's an interesting quiz. I've spent nearly all of my life in Chicago and NE Ohio/western PA. My dialect pattern is in Rockford, IL, Toledo, and Akron. Pretty accurate. Re: How Y’all, Youse and You Guys Talk

Date: December 25, 2013 01:57AM This dialect quiz turned out to be popular. We went out to dinner (I had gazpacho soup and salad) with some people last night, and they were talking about it.
Resistance is futile: Everyone in America must take the NYT’s dialect quiz [hotair.com] Re: How Y’all, Youse and You Guys Talk

Date: December 25, 2013 01:24PM I always figured you grew up in Vermont. Don't know where I got that idea 
We also said things like - warsh the clothes, down the chimley, liberry books, fishing in the crick, up on the ruff. Maybe that was when we were little, before we got schooling. Re: How Y’all, Youse and You Guys Talk
