Subject: Re: /gIt/ v. /gEt/ for "from the git-go"



Not necessarily AAVE pronunciation. General Southern. There's even a chain of convenience

stores called Git-n-Go.





General Southern, and also South Midland (Lower North?/Upper South?) --

or at least in southern/Appalachian Ohio -- the pronunciation of get is

/gIt/.
