> I missed your point when you said "south"
That may be because you got out a compass, found "north" (magnetic or true doesn't matter unless your location is, say, between magnetic north and true north), and then oriented yourself towards "topographic" south.
Now, madeline referred to "the south" and I referred to "the South", both of which may be construed as the geographic region of the United States beginning with its southern borders and extending up to the Mason-Dixon line. But, since the Mason-Dixon live does not extend across the country, alternate definitions might be appropriate. One might be that the South is the region where a majority of the citizens know that the proper plural form of "y'all" is "all y'all".
