The Answers

Y'all done good!  I'm impressed!  Of course, some of you had an edge by either having lived or living now in the South.  Without further ado, here are the answers.

1.  Nachur -- Nature

2.  Gummut  -- Government

3.  Kep -- Kept

4.  Ahce -- Ice

5.  Share -- Shower

6. Usta  -- Used to

7.  Lar -- Liar

8.  Daints -- Dance

9.  Quar -- Choir

10.  Tal -- Towel

My sister Sharon (originally from WV, but living now in SC) and Connie in Washington state each got 5 right.  Since there was a tie, I'm awarding Connie an extra point for trying even though she lives about as far away from the South as you can and still be in the US.   Thanks everyone for playing!

Connie, I'll be sending you a package soon, which will include this little book.  We'll make a Southerner out of you yet!
