* "I often omit sounds at the end of words: 'studyin' vs. 'studying.' and 'runnin' vs. 'running.'"
- Pronunciation is the production of syllables or words according to some accepted standard, such as that of a dictionary.
* "I hear people add emphasis to the word comparable incorrectly, they say 'compárable' instead of 'cómparable.'"
