Only curious as seems a recent thing.

It’s may be a Carolina thing as I hear it often.  But the USA stretch’s 6000 miles so the dialogue changes.  Good example is my Uncle down in New Orleans. He has a French based English that I barley understand. Then  he slips into Cajun English.  Cajun English is the closest to Old inglish and is actually the most proper.  It’s actually made fun of and considered backwoods.    Then out west they have Spanglish.  Up north there English has many Dutch words that aren’t used down south.
