People around here add "R" to things they shouldn't which is odd because as previously stated, they drop the "R" where it is needed.  A big one they say is "soder"  as in I'm going to the vending machine to buy a "soder". 

strange, we have all but eliminated "R" up here.  "Soder" would not be said anyway....it's "Tonic" up here.  Car is "caaaa"  yard is "yaaaaad" 

"What about the American Dream?"
"It came true!  You're looking at it!"

I used to have a roommate from Massachusetts. His brother Carl used to call for him, and if my roommate was out, he'd say, "Just tell him Caahl called..."  Used to crack me up.  (If you're from Boston don't name your son Carl, or Earl!)
