ING

[Scott Engelhardt]

Not to offend anyone here, but since when has everyone started to pronounce the G in the suffix ing?
It drives me nuts! My buddy sent me a link to a podcast he thought I would enjoy, and he was right. I would enjoy if they did not pronounce that G. I talked to him about it and he said I ruined his podcast for him. I think the worst part is they are not consistent.
Funny how with age I am patient with so many things that this drives me so nuts.

These are the same people that pronounce Cummins as Cummings.

Let me get this right. You are going nuts because everyone is pronouncING words correctly? Have you watched any news shows lately. There is plenty there to get you nuts. Just trying to be humorous.

I know it is a trivial thing, and as I look it up I found all 3 ways are ok ING as one syllable as I am use to, dropping the g all together, or pronouncing a hard g at the end. Just going to take awhile to get used to it.

Just goes to show you how very complicated the English language really is!!! No wonder it has been bastardized so much by just about everyone. They jus don't know how to speak correct Engrish now do they??? cr8crshr/Bill

ING is still ING, they just sold off some of their personal bank services.
