Uses: I reckon - and reckons he will continue to do so

Clark County isn't so far from Columbia, after all, in matters of speech

Doug McCammish writes:
As most everyone knows, I'm from off (clear up to Winchester, KY). I am adapting slowly, BUT ... I distinctly remember my grandmother (who grew up in Ohio and raised her family in northern Kentucky) calling a visitor's attention to my use of "I reckon." I have not stopped using that phrase, but I have yet to adopt "I don't care to do that."

Maybe Winchester isn't so far away. -Doug
