I don't drop the g entirely for an n, but I don't give a hard g after the ng either...<br /><br />Does that make sense?<br /><br />Doesn't it all depend on what part of the country you come from?<br />--JennJenn the Greenmomhttp://www.greenmomintheburbs.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554614180461420097.post-17844319472607092702011-12-23T00:21:46.359-05:002011-12-23T00:21:46.359-05:00I pronounce the three words all the same way and p...I pronounce the three words all the same way and pronounce 'g' tooColleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05119952320428470870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554614180461420097.post-39453365502022197972011-12-22T23:40:41.443-05:002011-12-22T23:40:41.443-05:00I think I pronounce the g's, although like men...I think I pronounce the g's, although like mentioned above I'm sure they are often dropped when I speaking fast or not paying attention.

When I'm teaching, I tend to put on my announcer voice, so everything comes out a little crisper than normal.
