And in case you missed it I was proposing that as an alternative to Tom attempting "Black speak," since he mentioned Southern folks.
Oh, I knew what you were proposing- and my point is that his attempt at replicating that particular dialect was so poor as to be insulting. So I guess I should say no southerner speaks EXACTLY like that - it struck me as an uneducated, stereotypical attempt at a dialect he doesn't understand from a linguistic standpoint.

I apologize for attempting to apply logic - I momentarily forget we were talking about Earp.
