I remember this  wonderful PBS show on language/dialects.  Just
interview answers.  One guy said something like:

"naw, ain't no di'lects 'round here aw ever heard.  No, saw.  Ba' up in
Rockridge, they do talk a lill different, so maybe gown up thar'n look."

'course, ain't Leically any dialects 'round these bytes.  We're just
plain volks.
