hyperurbanized
I think that word should become 'hypurbanized'... What's that word for dropping a syllable?

I don't. Hypurbanised sounds too much like hyperbole to my ears. Retaining that extra syllable seems to make its meaning much clearer. At least, that's the way it looks up here.

The d of liked gets assimilated into the t of to. It's usually used speaking of something that happened in the past. ~ faldageMaybeso, but that is the way english will be talked in the far future, so listen... I like ta died when I heard faldage yankee-talk about a " d " being swallowed up by a " t ". Double damn talk and snake tongue devils, don't the man know that the " t " has already to much to do, " ta " being a contraction of " to have", the use of " like" rather than " liked" is simply a " temporal allusion" that brings life (by way of immediacy) to the idiom, which " ta " restores to the proper tense. Geez! Sometimes I get so upset I cuss in yankee-talk.

Oh, finally finally FINALLY--*I* made a joke and *you* didn't get it!  I will add on, and say that you need to say it hypurbanized, not hyperbanized, so people can tell the difference!

For which I can thank Col. Bob. I still don't have a clue as to the difference between the pronunciations of hyperbanized and hypurbanized.
