Have others noticed this? It's new to me, but I don'g [just kidding!] get
out, much. It could be a shift that's been around a while, but, for some
reason, has only now engaged my attention.
Youneverknow.
My wife didn't notice the local pronunciation of possessive _mine_ as [maj at n],
even though even her own siblings use it, until after I had pointed it out
to her.
