No, that's not what I meant at all. There is a difference between real life, and writing. For instance, if I wrote a story based in Pittsburgh, I wouldn't include "Yinz", "dawntawn", "scrapjack", et cetera. Regardless of how much people say those things in that city, they are just so improper, that the only way to really use them is to fit them in a stereotypical or semi-stereotypical archetype.

Not everyone that says "Y'all" in real life is an idiot. In stories, they are usually rednecks with no education.
