Just a few quams here... "Bangor" has no /g/ for me, though, I must
admit, I don't know anyone from said city, so if I find out they pronounce it
that way, I might. Is "dongle" really a word? "Ungulate" is definitely
/VndZulejt/, mabye with a little /j/ in between the /dZ/ and the /u/. But,
yeah, I was just thinking up examples, and I'm sure everyone knows that
feeling.
