I guess I am not supposed to be offended by someone Saying they want to slap me cause of the way I talk!!!

I agree, I think pretty much all of the statements made are offensive. The way people talk (many times this has to do with where a person grew up) has nothing to do with intelligence or "class." I think the notion of actually hitting someone based on the way they talk is a lot less "classy" than anything anybody could say.

I don't think anybody literally wants to hit somebody for the way they talk.

Not so much a phrase, but I do a lot of training around the states, and bring my Canadian accent with me. I often get a good natured mocking from whatever group i end up training. The last group was in Atlanta, who kept asking me to say 'Aboot' and 'Eh' ... happens all the time, and actually works pretty well to loosen up a really serious group sometimes.

I also picked up the subulties of Y'all being for one person, and All Y'all for a group of someones, back when I was doing phone support at my last job - i might be one of the few people up here that pop it into conversation. Its just one of those uncommonalities up here, so i usually get laughed at my by friends when i do

I do notice that she hasn't posted for quite awhile in this thread. I wonder if the subtle way she offends people has finally bit her in the proverbial buttocks.
