Oh sure, if you know and recognise the word. But I learnt phonics.
Just brushing up on that negro dialect for when he really needs it...
They can’t pronounce anything with a ‘th’ in it either. Everything is dis, dat or dos. There is no noun/pronoun agreement either, i.e. they are, he is. They add an ‘s’ to things that don’t need it and leave it off when it is required. I have a customer whose name is spelled Edwinner, but pronounced Edwina. If you want it pronounced with an ending ‘a’, you spell it with ‘er’ and if you want it pronounced with an ending ‘er’, you spell it with ‘a’. Drives me nuts!
