In AE that would typically be found of those having Scandanavian heritage, most typically upper midwesterners, where the BE or soft (ahh) pronuncitation would be followed immediately by you betcha, by golly. e.g. "Yahh, you betcha by golly!" ~(ref. The movie - Fargo! Which was entirely about Minnesotans.)

Wouldst thou spelling "Straine" maybe be BE, as similar to "Strange" in AE?
