I know the feeling, Pam. Maybe it's because I'm from, ahem, NORTH Georgia, but when I was in other parts of the country, folks would guess I was from Ohio, or maybe western Pensylvania. One of my shipmates, a country singer, was from Pa. He sounded more Southern than I do. When I was young, my mom took me and my Grandmama to visit all her relatives, further up in the hills north of Kennesaw. I still remember how many of them said "hit" for "it". Later on, after I was grown and more widely read, I learned this was a leftover from Elizabethan English. Kind of funny, since they were all Scotch/Irish. Bussey, McCollum, Wallace, Donahue, Price, and Boring. LOL Stan
