In Atlanta we have a lot of immigrants from other countries and from the Northern US, so in the metro area one hears Southern terms like "y'all" and "fixing to" (for "going to") much less frequently. One term that's completely disappeared, which I don't miss, is using the word "mash" for "press" in the context of, say, an elevator button.
I have enough trouble remembering to spell centre and cheque correctly when I'm in Canada. I think I'd lie about how something was spelled rather than try to say zed.
