I think the letter g has disappeared
I mean, where is it in high? Or sign? Or cough?
Not only that, but what happened to ing endings? now its breakin' news; talkin" to the Iranians.
Our president does it. Our governor does it.
Everybody seems to be droppin the g on ing endins!!
I know, it gives that "folksy" sound we all adore. Sounds like you are one of the common people, one of the pack.
Well, Excuuuuse me! I am not one of the common people! I am educated, well read and semi literate!
Sure, I grew up thinkin all dogs were Spot, all girls were Janes, and all boys were Dicks, but I did learn to read.
(In retrospect, that doesn't sound riht!)
But somewhere along the line, we stopped caring that we sound literate. And intellijent. (I know, I am using a j instead of a g to prove my point.)
I just wanted to put my two cents into the discussion.
After all, it's startin to be a presidential season, and several folk will be runnin for the top office, hopin to win our confidence and our vote.
By golly and by cracker, if they have to sound a little dumb doin it, then blame us for not demandin better.
