27 Fotch is also heard, but it is not general. 28 Fit and fitten, unless my observation errs, are heard only in dialect. Fit is archaic English. Cf. Thornton, vol. i, p. 322. 29 Glode once enjoyed a certain respectability in America. It occurs in the Knickerbocker Magazine for April, 1856. so Hanged is never heard. 31 Het is incomplete without the addition of up. "He was het up" is always heard, not "he was het." 32 Always so pronounced. See p. 236.
