Misspelling

[R2elk]

Youns is common here in Missouri. I'd never heard it before moving here.

I have a lot of distant relatives in Missouri that moved there from SW PA.

I think that I dropped it somewhere along the line. I've been known to have butterfingers and a buttertongue, both.

“Salted” or “UNsalted” buttertongue???

A lot of people from SW PA have migrated to many other areas. I have never heard anyone else say "youns" as the plural for you.

My PA family says it. I knew exactly what you meant. But they live in Eastern PA, about two hours over the border from Ohio

You don't realize you have an accent until you visit other places. There everyone else has an accent except you.

I've been told my whole life that I have an accent. German accent. My mom even put us triplets in speech therapy for 8 years in school because we can't say our "R" properly. Nothing helped us. But we sound like we are from Boston. Nope

The way I remember driving times in PA, 2 hours from the Ohio border would not be close to Eastern PA since Ohio borders PA on the West. You might make it to central PA.

True dat! My mistake, I was typing fast and not thinking

Don't know what I was typing, for some reason I had eastern stuck in my head when I meant western. I blame it on the four hours of sleep I got

I also have German ancestry and had speech therapy for "R". Last name starts with R and was embarrassed, especially as a teenager, by the way my father rolled and extended it when saying our last name.

The boys in my family, my GSons, all have trouble with their Rs. I told The Kid I am raising to fake an English accent to cover it up. Sometimes he does. He's a goof anyway.

Using there instead of their.

I’m so guilty of this!

Don't forget "they're," their forgotten stepsister!
