<br>
<br>I know some people here in NJ who use EEN for -ing, but they have Southern
<br>California parents.   What's interesting to me about this form is that I
<br>believe it has the dental nasal rather than the velar, but I don't think
<br>anyone would write it with the apostrophe (-in') and I don't think it is
<br>stigmatized like older /-In/
