yes, this is what I mean! |
you don't understand what we are talking about. |
My friend says the word "fuc&ing" as "fugin". It's hilarious. |
How many languages do you speak, OP? Before you start judging other people look at yourself. |
I had a grandpa who used to lecture me about "ring the ing" when I was a kid. I tend not to pronounce the g and was always told it was ignorant sounding to drop the g.
Can't win. I think main stream English pronounces the g but it's not too hard, not over-stated. Half way between walkin and walking. |
It's an accent. I'm from Indiana and drop the 'g' about half the time. When speaking in front of a crowd or at a meeting, I tend to tone down my twang and include the 'g' but in everyday situations and conversations, I talk 'normal'. I don't care if you like it or not. |
Doesn't bother me. It bothers me much more when the "g" is suppressed. |
there's some trailer trash on here that ends all her useless posts with "just sayin" eww don't |
She means pronounce the G almost like you have a cold (at least this happens to me when I have a cold). Not saying "Where's he going" as opposed to "goin'" but "goinguh", almost like you say the going correctly and then add a "guh" sound on the end? |
^^ That's a Canadian accent. Sounds fine to me.
Signed, proud Vancouverite. |
According to some of these posters you sound like a "hick." Did you know that?! |
Love how some of you throw the "F" word around and think that's fine, but dropping the "g" on "ing" doesn't sound educated and upper class? That's hilarious. |
I don't care. One thing I learned a long time ago was that people who aren't interested in substance really don't matter. I have good manners, I speak well and am well rounded. I also have an accent. As a matter of fact, my accent isn't as strong as it used to be and was never as strong as some of my friends and family. They're great people and I would never think less of them because of their accent. |
I don't think I have ever heard anyone pronounce a hard G at the end of ing. I tried it and it is hard to say. I am Canadian and that is definitely not a Canadian thing. We do say ing with maybe a bit of a uh sound at the end but no hard G. |
People who get annoyed over things like this are way to uptight and snooty. I have friends with southern accents and foreign friends who speak in broken English, but they are still interesting people to talk to. |
