... c'mon, even Edwards says "wudn't" rather than wasn't.

It is just a dialect thing. I mean, are we going to criticize those in the Northeast that "pahk their cahs"? :)

And, I for one really hate "nucular", but then again, I hear most saying "comfterble" and "Febuary", etc. all the time.

I have met some VERY intelligent people in the south, for example, who end up sounding rather 'dumb' and their thick drawl is almost hypnotic. :)

And, geez, look at the spelling, grammar, etc. that is generally seen in posts on the Internet and in email messages!

This is really just nicking pits ... er ... nitting picks ... er ... picking nits. :)
