Elisabeth had a rant the other day about "another reason to love the south...."

Got me thinking...
I was on the phone with a lady once....I forgot her name, but it began with "R". I asked (axed?) her to spell it and sounded like this:
Lady: "AUR-a... "
Me: Aura?
Lady: Yes, AUR-a...
Me: Wait, how do you spell that?
Lady: AUR-a....
Me: Aura?, like A-U-R-A?
Lady: NO.....AUR-a...
Me: (frustrated) Aura? I am not getting it...
Lady: AUR-a, it comes after Q...
Me: (silence)....you mean "R"?
Lady: that's what I SAID....AUR-a
Me: (click)
Please don't axe me to understand you if'n ya ain't gonna speak english... my head's fixin' to blow up.
