How the hell did I miss this thread. I'm getting the warm fuzzies just realizing how many of you are close by.

Speaking of close by... since I'm in Columbia, SC... how far away are you? ? ?

Walnut Hill in Vicksburg was "suthern" at its finest in my book.. the fried chicken was so golden and delicious... could dive in and out of the mounds of mashed potatoes and just swim in them.. the homemade cole slaw.. you never put such cabbage in your mouth..

Makes me a little anxious to go back there and visit just for that!

And I always thought it was "ya'll" but being from Southern Ky.. what can you expect - as I know in most people's books that isn't truly Southern.
 
"Y'all"--contraction for "you all." Contractions are made by putting an apostrophe in place of letters left out. Since you're leaving out the "ou" in "you," the apostrophe is placed after the "y" in "y'all." Putting the apostrophe after the "a" would mean you're leaving out part of the word "all," which is not the case, hence "y'all."

Bunny, the Southern Grammar Nazi, ducks quietly out of the thread now.

Dayum Bunny.. I know you go to college and are a "true Southerner" being from 'Bama and all..
You are probably correct in your break down of the contraction but I've spelling it that way for years. Old habits are hard to break, besides it isn't so much how you spell it but how you say it .

Far be it for me to question the wisdom of a water tower.

Here in the South, we take our water towers seriously! Football games have been waged to see who wins the right to paint them. The Peachazoid in Gaffney, SC is a must-see on I-85.

As an aside, Happy Birthday, Evil Geoff, a week early.

Like I've said before.. I consider myself a Southerner but I don't believe I am in the true Ante Bellum South like Bi and Writer Dom and a few others.

I live in Southern Ky and although the town I grew up in was the original Southern capital for the state and where I live now was the second Southern capital for Ky during the Civil War (aka War of Northern Aggression by those of a more Southerly persuasion) therefore I'm not as steeped in some of the traditions that most of y'all grew up with. I look to the north and see the "grit line" which I deem to be the true demarcation line between North and South.

I call it a "frig". I took one of those online dialect tests a few years ago.. I definitely wasn't from Dixie. I have too many "Yankee" influences in my vocabulary; partially from the year that I lived in Wisconsin and a former SO that was from Ohio.
