Bubba was over the other night, I noticed he drops his "L's" is this regional or pure laziness. I mean he says code for cold, hoed for hold, etc. He's "from" southern Illinois. by way of the south and originally Maine.

I know he can pronounce "L's" he just doesn't in short words, to which he usually limits himself, Oh and btw he says concreek instead of concrete, drives me crazy, but for me it's a short trip.

Sounds to me like he's dropping his "dark-Ls", i.e. Ls that appear directly before a plosive consonant. In London-English, for example, the dark-L virtually becomes a W sound: "kawd" for cold; "miwk" for milk, etc.I know he can pronounce "L's" he just doesn't in short words, to which he usually limits himself, Oh and btw he says concreek instead of concrete, drives me crazy, but for me it's a short trip.

I don't seem to have IPA characters, or I could render what I mean more clearly.

"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention to arrive safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: Wow!!! What a ride!"
could be PW, but he doesn't replace it with a "w" he says code, hoed, bode, instead of cold, hold, bold, etc, he does pronounce double "L's" as though good ol' Bubba believes single "L's" don't deserve any recognition. I assure you he is not cognizant of anything so complicated.

Just show Bub' this analysis- he'll realise how much work he's doing and go back to good ol' "Korrekt" Englisch.
