Pronunciation trumps spelling

[Wilson Gray]

A native Georgian posts to Facebook,

"… the kitty's _bag_  legs …"

i.e. "*back* legs."

This kind of voicing-assimilation is common in both BE and SE. It was
a feature of Elvis's speech, for example.

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.
