Yes, I indeed have a very noticeable drawl, and also prefer to word "y'all" in the Missouri tradition. My folks come from Missouri, Texas, West Virgina, and North Dakota and a grew up in Baptist community transplanted straight out of Appalachia, which networked with all kinds of other Appalachian Baptists so I just essentially grew up around the drawl and picked it up.. Not EVERYBODY in LA has a drawl, but there are enough to have reenforced my own which I picked up from being so close to my grandparents (all four have/had strong drawl even after living in California for the past 50 years)
