    NO. I live in the Midwest and have lived in the South and the dialects and accents of those places have certainly influenced my speech, but I'm originally from San Francisco and I'm trying to hold onto that as much as possible. Lol. The furthest I go is "y'all".

    I did once hear the host at a Texan barbecue say "Bon appetit, y'all", a stunning piece of cosmopolitan sophistication.
