[Quick summary in standard orthography - A friend of
mine from Devon made the plural of 'breakfast' as
'breakfasses' :-) - a reinforcement of comments made
earlier on this list about final consonant cluster
simplification.

Also, whilst writing above and thinking a bit more
about stress, I noticed that I stress the word weekend
on the second syllable - is this a general exception
to the compound noun rule in English or just a
peculiarity of my own accent??]
