Welcome Tess:
It was wonderful to see you here after all this time. I love your fics and think you have a great grasp
on the psychology of your characters. Looking forward to the rest of your stories, and hope you learn
to enjoy your time here on Bettermost.
It has been my experience in regards to the slang you are using, like warsh and goin, that it is more
an indication of educational status, than regional. People use what I call lazy speech patterns, I have been
raised all my life around people that talked that way, and I was in California. They were mostly the so called
"Oakies" from the depression era migration to California. I didnt ever think of it as regional, so much as
class and educational.
