How cool is that? A convert...or as we say here in the South a connnn-vert.

We also make every single word two syllables whether it needs to be or not. (i.e. Ann should be pronounced Ann-in)

I love the teasing. When I visited California years ago, I was on the phone with Mom and a girl walked by and said something. Mom said, "wha-ought did-a she-e sa-ay? (using Southern accent here, could you tell?) I said, "She said, I am soooo not happy." Mother fell in the floor laughing and called all of her friends and told them about it. That was the funniest thing she had ever heard. She will still use that line on occasion. What a lovable melting pot we are, eh?
