Because none of the other dialect surveys do, silly. You have no idea how frustrating it is when your correct choice isn't there.

...Yes, I talk like a "hicketh". My typing reflects this, but with perfect grammar, unless intended otherwise. You might catch me saying stuff like "done gone", "fixin'", or "right quick" every now and then. 😛

Pepsi is, too, Coke! XD It's like a secret language. If you want a 7up, you ask a friend for a coke, and he/she will bring you a 7up. Magical, I say! O.O

First of all, my picks:

I always say "You guys", and I want so badly to break that habit.
Couch.
Soda.
Thing.
I'm always "about to" do something.
Wash.
Trash.
Extra.

And now for my correction. I personally call it "White Castle", but the rest of my family has a totally different name for it. They don't call them "Whataburger", they call them "Murder Burgers", or to be more zingy, "Moidaboigas". They can't take the grease on those things. Me, I never sensed it that much.

Actually, for the first one, I dont use neither...
I say, "You lot," or "Them," and wave with my finger or just dont adress large group.

I dont think I've ever said you guys though, weird.

I do have a personal hatred for the words guys though, which might have something to with it?

By the way, Shoe: would you happen to be ShooterH who was around here a few years ago?

Why, as a matter of fact, I am! ^___^ My name got shortened to Shoo, and then the spelling was changed to Shoe. Then I registered again with the new name a good two or three years later. I is so happy that you remember me! You made my day! A cookie for thee!

I grew up in the heart of the Midwest, so that comprises the biggest part of my dialect, but I also use quite a few characteristically Dixie phrases. Not to mention the slight Virginian accent I get when I'm tired... I've never been there, but that's where my entire family on my mother's side is from.
