Hehe..I'm from Seattle (now in Ohio) and I say Ya'll.... of course I have a
friend from Texas and I have a tendency to pick up on other people's accents
without trying. Usually it isn't bad but when a guy from Seattle spends two
weeks around someone from Calgary and starts saying "eh?" unintentionally,
it's a bit traumitizing. *LOL*
Enough about accents, eh?
GOOD LUCK SHIRI!!!!
