Because none of the other dialect surveys do, silly. You have no idea how frustrating it is when your correct choice isn't there.
oic. Dost thou talk like a hicketh?!/!1?!/1/
...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. 😛

Oh. Okay. If I insulted you in any way by using the word hick, I apologize.

I'm not the only other Texan on the boards. DB Vulpix, Some other guy and some other guy in the chat are also from Texas. I need to learn names.
And Pepsi is not Coke. >:|
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

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.
