Mainly because he's a great orator, but also because he's fun to listen to. He says "accreate" and "pastreate" instead of "accurate" and "pastorate." He says "sim-yoo-ler" instead of "sim-ih-ler."

My pastor comes from Georgia, and while his family has, I guess, disguised their accents, you can still hear him say "pro-grum" instead of "pro-gram" every week.
