Been knowin'and Have to (WAS Want I should?)

[RonButters at AOL.COM]

Another subtle syntactic difference between North and South is this:

NORTH: I've known them for a long time.
SOUTH: I've been knowin' them for a long time.

Aother is as follows:

NORTH: Shall I have him call you?
SOUTH: Shall I have him to call you?
