That is consistent with my theory that that usage was common in the black 
community, but not in the white community.  In GA, decent people were very 
careful about what they said, no one wanted to be inflamatory.  It was a time 
when you didn't know whether blacks wanted to be called negroes, blacks, 
colored, or African American.

My nanny was from Georgia and I first heard it from her back in the 50s.  In 
fact, she was the first person I ever heard use the "n" word.  And
she was 
black.  Our schools were direct opposites.  My had a 70-80% black 
population, or more.

I'd leave it as it is and split into smaller sections when you need
it. It's a lot easier if you need to restack or move the pile to do it
in larger pieces. I usually don't have a problem splitting dry wood if
it's been split into quarters. Make sure it's off the ground and if
you cover, that water does not get trapped under the cover.

I split 2 gum trees last weekend. That is one of the worst to split
even green. Once it's dry, for get it. Wood is not that great of
firewood either, but I've got a lot of sweet gum and am removing for
other stuff to grow.

If you have wood towards next year, I'd hold on to it. Good insurance.
