With all of these topics about pronunciations and such, I was wondering, what are some words that are uniquely spelled in your dialect? Please include slang, as well. :)

Here are some interesting words I noticed in Texas English:

What're (What are)
What'd (What did/do)
How'd (How did/do)
How're (How are)
That'd (That would)
Y'all's (Possessive form of you all)
Y'all're (You all are)
Y'all'd (You all would)
What've (What have)

Garage (Pronounced: Gar ah zz)
Soldier (Pronounced: Sold j er)

Looks like Southern to me :P I'm in the Midwest and we don't really have slang for pronouncing words.
