Yes, people often/usually drop the g in quick/casual speech, but most regions I have heard do pronounce it when speaking slower or more formally.
Comment on What the hell! Let's all just go crazy!
samus12345@lemmy.world 11 months agoI always have. How else is it pronounced? “Reckonize?”

In America a lot of people say "reckonize." In fact, I never hear it pronounced as if there is an actual "g" in the word anymore. I think they're just imitating habits of others but I hope they know that, there really is a "g" in the word (if it comes to having to spell it).

Do they also say “reckonition?”

Yeah I've heard it said that way. And it's very "fustrating." (another word that is mispronounced by leaving out the first "r" in frustrating). My big hang up is people always mispronouncing the word "Jewelry" as "Jew-LUH-Ree." It's just the world Jewel with an "ry" on the end - how hard is that to get right!!!!
