YES!! You just read my mind, Connie... those mispronunciations are the WORST!
No kidding! Everyone knows they should be realta and nuclea.
Toadally. I'm from Boston where we know when to drop unnecessary Rs.
Then you know well that it is sometimes necessary to replace the dropped R with a random extra vowel or a W in the middle of a word.

Local dialects are simply fascinating... I was born and raised in nohthen vahmont and I always envied my high school friends who could speak in the "native tongue"... because I never could (maybe it's because my parent's were from Long Island ).
Living outside of Boston for the last few years I've become used to an entirely different form of pronunciation... I have a friend who likes to tell a story about visiting Boston for a weekend and being given directions by a local to find "Pack" street... it took him the better part of that weekend to figure out that he was actually supposed to be looking for PARK street!!

but when I hear things like "I aint got no..." whatever it feels like my head is going to explode. That's just wrong
What I hate about this kind of sentence isn’t so much the “Ain’t”, (I think it may actually be a word in some dictionaries now) but the double negative on the statement. “I ain’t got tomatoes” gets drawn out to “I ain’t got no tomatoes” like somehow it makes it more substantial.
The word that makes me super loopy is “irregardless”. Again with the double negative and people use it with such conviction, it makes me cringe every time. The word is “regardless”, 3 syllables not 4.
