Like the USA in general, North Carolina Woodworker has a lot of native born and a lot of folks from other areas. I am a transplant from the Northeast myself. My BIL sent me this fun little dialect quiz if anyone is interested:  http://www.angelfire.com/ak2/intelli...ixie_quiz.html

oops, forgot my score ..... 78%
My 22% comes from the fact that The Shoppe Widow is from Joisey Jersey
She got 55% so the training is progressing well

Amazingly so, I just tested 61% (southern). It must have been the biscuits and molasses Robert .

84% Dixie. I'm originally from Durum (Durham, for those not aware of the correct pronunciation), so I guess I shouldn't be surprised!

Funny, Glenn!
But no testing required for me
Descendants came to NC from Jamestown in 1720-30. Gotta be a zillion of us spread across the nation now . . . but not a one is rich or famous

I have been a transplant for 15 plus years and I am proud to say 62% Dixie. With the help of my true southern friends, I hope to improve on that score.
