To be a total contrarian, I will argue...
Many of the localisms have roots in English regional dialects. The Pittsburgh area's famous "y'inz" can be traced to Scottish usage.
I find it almost as annoying when everybody expects everyone else in America to talk like Stone Phillips.
Regional accents used to bug me (I'm from New York), but now I realize they provide interest that will one day be lost due to cultural homogenization.
