After spending a few years in the army (and in North Carolina- I mean, Nawth Carulawna) I've picked up "Y'all", "yer", and "git". I can't stand any of them.
I spent my first twenty years in Utah, and the last few years I lived there I was constantly being asked "so, where you from?" "Here." "No, before that." ?? I was almost denied a loan because my application said I was from Utah and they thought I had an accent. (the secretary at the door even went so far as to announce at my return, "the Canadian guy's here.") I moved to New Mexico and it was the same drill. Nobody's said anything since I've joined the military, though. Haven't ever quite figured that one out, although I know I pronounce my t's funny.
