Subject: Re: stay and live

So far we have: N.W.Indiana, S. Georgia, W. Tennessee, African American
English and South Africa. Add to that Lowland Scots. Stay for live was
the norm when I lived in the Glasgow area. I'm not sure whether it is
used in all areas of Scotland. Could there be some connection between
where it is found in the US and Scotch/Irish immigration to those areas?
