The speaker could not be from Boston, where the rule is much harder to follow: it is fleeting in some instances and epenthetic in others.Maury D'annatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14136129943169313348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17999907.post-53353942865242827202009-03-18T17:34:00.000-05:002009-03-18T17:34:00.000-05:00Ok, It's kind of dependent on knowing a fairly obs...Ok, It's kind of dependent on knowing a fairly obscure post-punk song by the Clash.
