	Ah'm fixin' tah eat this here bug!


	Notice the relaxation of the tongue, teeth, and mandibles when you read that sentence. Sometimes this speech pattern or tendency is called "lazy" speech.


	Ah hain't never heared nothin' like 'at.


	Also notice the lack of rules and structure. In his previous statement, he used "this here" when "this" would suffice. Now, the "th" is totally dropped from "that!"


	Finally, note that "eat" is used exclusively instead of "ate" and "eaten." "I eat it yesterday;" I'm eating it now;" "I'm gonna eat it tomorrow;" and "I've eat it before" are all common uses. Amazing.
