Welcome to my blog, Ubonics, where we explore the English language as only dyed-in-the-wool, born-in-the-covenant Utahns can speak it. Today's lesson focuses on 'n' words. A whole bunch of words contain this simple sound, and the best way to describe it is to spell it out phonetically.
For example:
fix'n = fixing
quit'n = quitting
grut'n = grunting
...and my personal favorite
Treemot'n = Tremonton, the sprawling suburb of Fielding, where I grew up.
Vote for your favorite 'n' word in this week's poll!
Next week's lesson: "We was"
We was fix'n to read more next week.
