I don't mean a home in the middle of nowhere in the field, but something more rural than a typical NE NJ suburb, a lot of which wouldn't even be considered suburbs in other parts of the country, but instead cities, considering how dense they are.
Anyway, I am guessing the NW, Central and parts of South would be it? I figure South might be kinda congested too where it's close to Philly?
South south jersey, aka Delaware.

Really?
I was born in Brooklyn, and grew up in Bayonne, and I never "axed" anyone a question.
But, then again, my mother was a stickler for proper grammar and pronunciation, so that probably helped me.

But, in any event, you clearly know better at this point in your life, as does anyone who is interested in succeeding in the dog-eat-dog job market.

You're generously assuming this guy isn't at least partially yanking your chain.

its really adorable when my employees do that "aks" thing. what bothered me was when a girl we became friends with in brooklyn would say "aks." she has a good family and is doing well as a nurse, it was beneath her to talk like that. but i guess that can come with living in brooklyn if you mix with certain folks.

My brother and I were both "axers". LOL. My parents were pretty strict too (my dad was on Jeopardy! , he was quite smart), but the accent was thick. I was forced to take speech therapy in college. Between that and getting out of Bayonne, people now can't believe I live in NJ based on my speech. Same with my brother.
