Re: talkin' southern
So, hunker down behind Hadrian's Wall!'Aye', 'laddie' 'wee' and 'o'' are all Scottish expressions I'm afraid.Aye, laddie; some o' us provincials are not as au courant as our progenitors on that wee sma' isle off o' the coast o' Pas-de-Calais.

The Scots, Northern English and Southern American dialects appear to be the most conservative forms of the language. Most be something to do with speaking to farm animals all day.
