Have you been to New England for a lobster dinner? In the Northeast Seacoast it could be a “lobstah” dinner. Most people up there drop the “t” in often, but never use the “t” in soften. And the “ei” they pronounced “ee” not “i”. I’m just having fun with some dielects along sea coast New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts; however, there are hundreds in New England.
I offen soffen neether content nor intent,
eether explicit or implicit about
devices to rearrange things in
the Care-ah-beein Sea or
pahkin karz at Hahvad
in Bostin.
