"but I doubt anyone in the south (outside of the irish channel) really gives the New York Times opinion on southern language much of a second thought."
Weird take. It's not like just because some portion of a Southern state is anti-elitist or whatever the state is devoid of New York Times readers. I grew up in a middle class setting in the South and every house I ever entered had a copy of The New Yorker. There are NPR stations all over the country. The South is not a mono-culture.
