my Kentuckian husband My, what good taste you have, Jo!
Anna, I didn't move to a different region, but where I went to college there were so many people down from Pennsylvania and Ohio that by the time I was through I was talking like a Yankee. Took me about two years of living back at home to return to "normal". Which, by the way, reminded me that according to my daughter, her college friends think Kentucky is the Deep South--one even asked her if she'd ever seen snow!
