I've noticed a change in pronunciaiton of "children".  I would assume
it to
be ~childrin (~ denotes truespel notation).  But I'm hearing
everywhere
~chooldrin (where ~ool is as in ~wool).

Not that I like it.  I prefer speech to be as close to tradspel
(traditional
spelling) as possible.  Wandering away from it violates the alphabetic
principle.
