language

[ljgeoff]

If (the person, not the preposition) just asked me something, and I replied "I suppose."

Except that what I actually said was "I s'pose."

For some reason, this made me start thinking of other words I use alot that I don't pronounce fully:

actually -- ak'chully or ak'chlly

don't know -- dunno

what are you -- wh't'r'ya

probably -- prob'ly

I rarely pronounce the 'g' on an 'ing' ending, either: thinkin', washin', runnin'.

What short cuts do you take? Does it bother you to hear folks mispronounce words?
