I Reckon

For some reason, Australians and Kiwis love using the word "reckon" - a word I strictly associate with rednecks in the confederate South. Every time someone uses it here, I have to stifle a laugh as I imagine a hick in overalls pointing at roadkill saying things like "I reckon that squirrel is eatable." They use "reckon" here about as frequently as California teenage girls (and myself) use "like." It's been rough.

    coming from a state south of the mason dixon, I can tell ya there's no reckoning about it; squirrel is done eatable.
