That’s pretty bad, but I’ve noticed several grammar and spelling errors that YOU have made.

In school (in the Coal Fields/New River Valley area, I guess) we were taught that Berkeley and those panhandle counties were the “Stolen” or “lost” counties and resented being part of WV and would much rather be a part of anywhere else but us. So I find it hilarious for them to be used as proof of hickdom. Definitely brought a smile to my face.

Personally, I’m glad to have those counties. Without them forming the thumb, some people don’t get the concept that WV is giving them the bird.

Some days I just want to explain it all with “Because it’s got electrolytes. It’s what plants crave.”

Berkeley county, eastern panhandle. I’m just east of Appalachia near the Maryland/Virginia/Pennsylvania borders.

I’m going to take a wild guess. Clay county? The place one-toothed rednecks look upon in slack-jawed amazement and go “Damn, thems are hicks!”

West Virgina can be as bad as Virginia…sometimes. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to correct students using “are” for “our”. I guess it’s the way they pronounce it. I pronounce the [ou] in “our” like [out, how, cow etc...]. E1 here (WVa) pronounces it like [are, far]. What’s truly unfortunate is that they still don’t get the difference even after I ‘splain it to them. I gave up on explaining the difference between there, their and they’re.
