Notes: In turn 1 it's completely normal for a speaker to omit the final plural /s/ of a word ending -st. In turn 3 there's only one /s/ which can't necessarily be said to belong more to the end of seems than the beginning of so. In turn 4 the final consonant of ask seems unclear. If we think it's /k/ there's been an elision of final /t/; if it's /t/ then it's quite normal for the past of ask to be /ɑːst/ with elision of /k/. In turn 10 the omission of the first personal pronoun 'I' before a verb (here 'tell') is common in very colloquial speech. In turn 11 the weakform of there's produced by shortening of the vowel to /e/ isn't very unusual despite the fact that none of the dictionaries etc recognise it as a weakform. Very usually heard in the sentence "They're off ", exclaimed when a horse race starts, is another such unlisted weakform.
