And note that the common dialect feature, made famous by, but certainly not exclusive to, Sarah Palin, known as G dropping is not actually dropping a G but changing the NG sound (IPA ŋ) as in sing to an N sound. The G is dropped in written representations of this feature, e.g., "I'm lookin' at you," vs. "I'm looking at you."
