OP Occasionally, patients here in Kentucky, especially ones from the eastern part of the state, will tell me that something happens "of a morning," as in "Since I've been pregnant I feel sick of a morning." I'm not sure if they are really saying "of a morning" or if they are saying "every morning" with such a lazy drawl that it comes out sounding like "of a morning." Can anybody shed light on this phenomenon?
