Heard on The Judges

[Wilson Gray]

A late-thirty-ish, middle-class, black woman from Los Angeles
pronouncing "beige" as [beiZ], instead of as [beidZ], for this
correspondent the iconic BE pronunciation. Oh, well. Nothing lasts
forever.

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
