Puede que sea un dicho, lo de estar en el mismo hilo, pero no lo conozco ni lo encuentro. Significa estar en la misma onda, que están de una mente, o ¿no?

Maybe you meant thread or train of thought then?

Jeet yet? - Did you eat yet?
No, jew? - No, did you?
younguns - children
yourn - yours
You-uns - you all, I supposed this was derived from "you ones"
We say our r's very hard and all words spoken ususally have a minimum of two syllables.

I would like to make it clear that I am able to speak proper english despite what the above examples would imply. LOL

I've never been to Virginia, I'd love to hear you talk sometime. I'm always interested in accents different from mine.

Great post, Krista. You made me think of this very old film called 'Baby boom' . Seen it?

[supa-coopa]

I don't think I've seen the the entire thing. Just bits and pieces. Have you seen "Sling Blade" with Billy Bob Thorton? The little boy in that movie sounds like he could be from my home town. That kid played in "Varsity Blues" when he was older as well.... I think. Those are both GREAT movies.

Both titles sound familiar, but I haven't seen any of them. Nope. I'll be on the lookout next time I go DVD hunting.

María, I would say "either of them" instead of "any of them". It sounds better since you're talking about exactly 2 things. Any would be used for 3 or more.

Thanks.
