I drove through a Taco Bell for a fast lunch.

3 times....... no comprede. I finally had to drive to the window to see (SEE) that she was asking me if I wanted hot or mild sauce and a hard or soft shell for my "tacaoooowwwww?"

Being a Canadian, and occasionally finding myself in many of the states, you do notice that there is a definite difference in both the lingo and the many regional accents. It took a while for me to pick up the various cultural and verbal variances.. Every thing from Yawannasac (translation: would you like a bag to put your purchase in?) to "Ya have a nice one" (I do, but How did she know??). I spent a half hour in a Kentucky truck stop, having fun by trying to get the pretty young thing to say Apple Pie and not Ayaple Pie.. She could not do it.. And, a word of warning for other Canadians, Never order Chips and Gravy you probably won't expect, or like what you'll get .. To most of us here, your all from the south, even the ones that live in the 30% of the U.S that's further north than I am, which is most of the Northern Border States

If any have traveled I-75/71 past the Florence Mall in Ky have seen the water tower.
A major, northern KY landmark. In 1974, the message on the water
tower read "Florence Mall", this in anticipation of the shopping center
being built next to it. However, this violated some state statute, so
the " M " was hastily made into a " Y' ". It was never changed back
to its original form.

Having been to North, and Due West, and Traveler's Rest, etc., it makes perfect sense to me also.

I'm fine thanks, and hope you are the same.

Funny, but my wife is from North Dakota, and they pronounce North as "Nort". No one out there has a clue what "NowAth" is. Yah, you-bet-ja... Darn tootin'....

[Rod Sheridan]

Eh?

Regards, Rod.

My son (NJ born and raised) is at University of North Dakota and the locals wonder why he doesn't sound like the chowder heads on The Jersey Shore.

Even my husband, a life long southerner, was confused by the southern direction to 'turn by the fir tire'..... Translated: Fire Tower
