I was cruising the local Craigslist ads and thought of you guys (y'all in southern speak for Joey).  I feel left out for considering myself a bass player over guitarist.

LOL.  Stephen

Well, there's no shortage of guitar players here in Nashville, and I'm sure this guy will find one . . . . Of course, this is one more reason NOT to double on guitar.

Actually, I'm thinking of losing ' y'all ' and going to 'you guys', or channeling my Midwest leanings and saying 'you'n's' when I'm going out for a made-right and a bottle of pop.
 
And they think WE talk funny . . . .

New York.

Only if yer from Lawn Guyland...

Who ? o__ Yu Guise ?

That's Lawn Guylin
 
Grammar Rules of New Yorkese:
 
1.  If the word ends in a consonant, drop it.
    Examples:  Long Island become Lawn Guylin
    water becomes wauta
 
2.  If it ends in a vowel, add an r if you can
    Example, idea becomes idear
 
3.  o and a often become au
    Example:  see water, above
    coffee becomes cauffee
 
Bill, tgo

And if there's a r already in it , make it sound like a w. Like in New Yawk.

Hey Joey,
 In Dubuque, IA the sandwich (and the diner it came from) was the maid-rite - juicy loose ground beef on a bun, wrapped in wax paper.
Mmmm
 
The Maid Rite had a juke box where I first heard  We Can Work It Out back in the 60's.

And if you head East from Dubuque 10 miles, you get Galena, IL, a wonderful little town and the only place I ever heard yas'all.

Milwaukee has a bubbler that you can get a drink from if you don't have a soda.

Wow! I grew up on Long Island, didn?t realize we had so many linguistic rules. When working in ?The City? I was able to differentiate accents from any of the 5 Boroughs, Connecticut, ?Upstate? and of course Joysee.

This is all good stuff, I love accents, and often try and guess where people are from just by the way they sound.
 
A parallel pursuit to this is I'm trying to wrap my head around British-isms:  Of course, they speak English and we speak American.  I'm always fascinated by the English section in the supermarket, they do have some interesting names for things !  I guess I'm watching too much Dr. Who and Top Gear on BBC America.

Not only do accents vary within short demographic areas but also on how they are perceived in different locations around the country. Since moving to the South I have been asked several times if I was from Australia.;-)  Even got into a mild argument with a nice lady until I relented and said ?Shrimp on the Barbie? and told her I was from New Zealand, close.  
 I used to enjoy walking around Manhattan listening to languages change as the street numbers changed.
