I know what you mean.  I do hear it or see it written out pretty often (even here), by people who are not from The South - which is fine but it can be mildly irritating after a while, but whatever - I guess some people enjoy using it.  On the other hand, I've lived in NC for over 25 years and I almost never use the term.  SirD is correct, of course; it's so commonly used in The South (and not as an affectation) that you don't even notice it. 
  "Methinks" is the term that really annoys me; worse than "whence" which most people use incorrectly 95% of the time anyhow.

Yea in the south, you don't even notice it, it is so ubiquitous.

For sure.  I should have added "from those who didn't grow up with its common use".  It's the affectation, obviously, that irritates now.

Fine if you live in the North.  In the South this is simply not an option.

Has anyone mentioned "Tremendous" yet? Or Beelions?
