Q: 'die', 'dice'

[Dorine S. Houston, Director]

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
My Milwaukee (Wisconsin, mid-western USA) born husband and
his sister have both been heard to say 'breakfas'es', and they are
well educated (I think it is like wearing tennis shoes instead of
sneakers).  I've never heard and Easterner say it.
