We speak different dialects of the same language. They do that in other languages also.

Americans speak different dialects such as Brooklynese, redneck, Bostonian and NewAwlins.

Bee, I always loved the word "reckon", like in the expression "I reckon..." ​. It used to be popular here. My older relatives used it a lot. But it's disappearing now I think. Kinda sad.

Not only are they "fixen' to", they're also "fixen'" supper, as if it was broken.... but it is cute.layful:

I have to admit we say and hear a lot of "fixen" around here. Sometimes it actually gets done.

A word I often hear on NFL commentary is'winningest'.Over here we would say 'most successful'.We would never say the former!
