Sure, no problem!

As it turns out, “g-dropping” is probably the more normal way of speaking for almost every native English speaker. People identify it with African American Vernacular English, with Southern English, with low-class wherever English, but really, most people do it most of the time. *Except* when they are doing something like reading out loud, or being really careful, because we’ve been taught that it’s more proper, because that’s how things are spelled. And that’s what nerds/geeks are really doing, speaking with “reading pronunciation.” So we’re the weird ones, really. (“We” meaning geeks like me.)

I am known for dropping my G’s when I am really tired or had a drink. Its the country Texas girl in me. I don’t know that there is a particularly “African-American vernacular” in this part of the country. We all talk tend toward speaking slang.
