Yes, but that, too, will change. Television, the automobile, and workforce mobility have all but destroyed regional dialects.

Yep, on all accounts...
And carpetbaggers who correct me on my pronounciation of the "PO- WHITE" parkway can kiss my redneck keister! Just sayin', it's call "PO-WHITE" because that's where the PO WHITE PEOPLE LIVE!

Heh heh heh. Actual Southerners in Williamsburg refer to the Parkway as "Po-white ", too.
I'd never given much thought to the correct pronunciation of Appalachian. Although, now I recognize another disservice of the public school system. I USED TO pronounce it correctly. Then school happened. Daddy, of course, has always pronounced it correctly, which is why I used to. And, now I will again.
