Actually, Walter, I frequently heard in my college English courses that
"southern English" is the closest to the queen's English of all the
American dialects. How you determine this, or how much truth is in this
statement is subject to debate, but it makes since in light of
immigration patterns of the southeast compared to other parts of the
country.

groundhog, General Beauregard Lee, has lost his ability to predict
spring.
