Clueless Don, or "an 'oss, an 'oss, m'kingdom for an 'oss!" LOL!

I get tired of hearing newscasters, esp. young, local ones who drop the "g" at the end of words such as going/go-un, taking/taykin, etc. It used to be newscasts were pre-written AND sent to an editor before it was ever read on air. Charles Kuralt chronicles this in his book "A Life on the Road," when, as a young pup of a writer, he wrote for Edward R. Murrow and was edited at the same time he was handed Murrow's commentary to edit. In our local market, that is unheard of and it becomes obvious when one watches the evening news.
