You know how when you’re reading one of those books intent on preserving dialect and people say things like “git” and “sez”? Exactly how I’ve been pronouncing those words my entire life?

Turns out that people here actually pronounce “says” the way it looks like it should be pronounced (“say” with an “s” on the end), which I had never in my life heard before this one time I watched Gordon Brown on C-SPAN.

This almost makes up for “lefftenant.”
