I know that! That´s why there´s a wink-smiley there.

Southern US English is so far from the norm that when people from England and Scotland are shown speaking on the news here, they're shown with subtitles.

I can understand that. When we arrived in Scotland late in the night we had to ask a taxi driver for the directions. (This was right outside Prestwick airport (Ayr)) We actually didn´t understand him at all and drove away in the wrong direction which he noticed. He then drove up in front of us and started waving the right direction with his hand through the window. Such a nice man!
btw is your accent anything like the one from Savannah, Georgia? That´s a very nice southern accent. My friends in N.J, well the hubby comes originally from Savannah.
