Born and raised in Pgh, never say [fIld] for <field> nor [Igl] for <eagle>,
and yet <Craig> and <peg> have rhymed for me since birth.  Or shortly
thereafter.

Anyway, what makes you think [i]>[I] conflation is related to [ei]>[E]
conflation (at least, [ei] is what I assume you hypercorrective types have
in <Craig>)?

Cheers,
Scott
