About the worst Baptist preacher I ever heard...

Kentucky is an area where one would think that there is a lot of good Biblical preaching. There is some but not much.
At least in western KY

Eastern Kentucky...... Freewill Baptist churches...... Paintsville, Louisa, Big Sandy area. Preaching is solid Biblically, just that style of preaching. I had an uncle Jarrett who preached that way. Everyone in the churches throughout that whole area preached like that.

I've been in churches in those areas, and I haven't seen this....Of course, I don't go to "Free Will" Baptist churches very often but even those churches that I was in in that region didn't seem to preach that way.
Well, that was back when I was a boy in the late 50's-early 60's. So maybe it's changed now. I haven't been back down there since 1972 when my grandparents passed away.
All over the tri-State area I live in-OH,WV,KY. Some are baptists; some are evangelists not claiming any one denom. I believe hacking & deliberately using "hilljack English" when it's not the preacher's everyday speaking style, & speaking long discourses in Elizabethan English is deceptive and in error. (I listen to many preachers on the radio, especially late ones such as Dr. J. Vernon McGee & Adrian Rogers. Like you & I, they all have/had their faults; none are perfect but Jesus. But they're effective preachers who preached in plain English without any chicanery.
