Wrong. Dr. Pepper is NOT coke and never will be.:p

"All Hallow's Eve" or "Hallow'een". Pick one. You can pronounce it "Halloween" as long as you know it's spelled "Hallow'een", and the "'een" stands for "evening".
Except "Hallows" is plural, so it's properly "All Hallows' Eve"

Also, it's "Hallowe'en", not "Hallow'een" (note the placement of the apostrophe).

Further, Webster's New International Dictionary says both spellings are proper, and lists "Halloween" first.

66% Dixie. Mother's Family from Illinois by way of Vermont & Quebec. Father's family from the Raleigh-Durham area. He visited some of my distant cousins there in 1947. The way he characterized them was,

"You had to rope 'em out of trees to put shoes on 'em."

Fifty years later, I had to attend a Northern Telecom Fiber Terminal School in Raleigh. The first day of class, the instructor walks in, zeroes in on me and asks,

"Ain't I seen you somewhere before?"

I answered,

"Well, I've never been here before in my life. But you may have seen some of my distant cousins runnin' the ridges in their Tar Heels."

100% Cornbread and Greens Dixie...

Lee wasn't my Grandpappy but a cousin I believe...:hmm: ... I'll have to ask my mom.

I do have a hard lean towards Texas according to the test...

On the Advanced test 100% Dixie again... thats right genuine for real southerner as if yall didn't know.

Number 6 on the advance test did worry me a bit cause "Hey yall" wasn't one of the choices.

Now I can sleep up a storm know my Dixieness is tested.
