I reckon

I ended a phone conversation today with "I reckon you will," which led me to ponder if people thought I said that because I was from the midwest and my parents are Southern, or something.

In truth, saying "I reckon" is an affectation I picked up while doing the play Dark of the Moon in high school that I was never able to shake. All the characters in that play are mountain-dwelling, moonshine-swilling types, and I said it so much as my character(s) that it snuck its way into my daily speech. So now you know... the rest of the story. Good day!
