[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First off, I am not trying to diss Southerners. And I know that in any region, there is a wide variety of approaches to communication and manners. Still, there definitely are some common cultural differences between Southerners and Northerners, so I'm hoping someone will kindly enlighten me.

Here's my question: On another thread (why do people offer help if they don't mean what they say), one poster commented on how Yankees take things at face value whereas Southerners will say things they don't mean to be polite. I'm a clueless Yankee who often takes things at face value. I wouldn't offer help if I didn't mean it. And if someone offered me help, I might actually believe them (depending on our relationship.) My tendency to take things at face value has created some awkward situations. Can someone please clue me in? What kinds of things do Southerners tend to say to be polite that a Yankee wouldn't say?

Realy, OP, you are an idiot.   I have lived all over the world and I have never encountered such rude, inconsiderate, thoughtless, comments of DCUM posters, who think, they are so wonderful and without fault.  No one can help to whom, or in what geographical area, they are born.  I hope you will profit by the below quote Of Sachiel Page.  Your post brands you as a common, ignorant bigot.
