Good point! I think people tend to pronounce words like they hear them spoken and sometimes people leave off the ending of their words. Being originally from the South, I am quilty of that also. I'll never forget being in the 6th grade and having to write a paper in English class. I wrote "next store neighbor" because that was how I heard it pronounced. When the paper was returned to me there was a big red circle around my mistake and the teacher had written "next door neighbor" in the circle. Never made that mistake again. I also grew up hearing kitchen "zinc" instead of sink.

If you kiss your honey
When your nose is runny
You may think it's funny
But it's snot
