  1. You're amazing dear professor. I also saw an American say (stanerd) instead of (standard) by dropping the first d sound. Does it really happen or I'm mistaken?

  2. Seems like this just teaches people to speak in a sloppy style and encourage us that instead of continuing to try to teach people to speak properly without logic we could swap out slang and online speech for proper English for that logic

  3. Rachel teaches spoken English not written English. Rachel is opinionated about dropping h in her, but it is correct to say her with the h. Some people even pronounce her as har.
