In the New York Metro, New England, SoCal, and Maryland-to-Virginia areas, I've often heard people use the contraction " 'll ", as in: "it'll be ready in five minutes," "the heater'll warm up soon," or "this one'll do the trick". Brylcreem memorialized the contraction with their iconic ad campaign slogan: "A little dab'll do ya."

From New England here and I definitely do the "I will" as "I'll". Now that you've mentioned this, I also find that I do this more than I was aware.
And that coffee one? I say that ALL the time... |

If you listen to Billy Joel's song Scenes from and Italian Restaurant he says Brender and Eddie as opposed to Brenda. He is from Oyster Bay Long Island. We have many Long Island transplant in Charlotte. Almost every one of them add an R to the end of a name ending in a vowel. I think I am very sensitive to this because my name ends in an A. S |
