I was wondering if saying "liable to" instead of "likely to" was a Southern/Appalachian thing since I've always said "liable" with 2 syllables exclusively in that context
it looks like 1) it's not and 2) other people from outside the South pronounce it with two syllables in this context as well, which is fascinating to me
what IS very Southern is the intense monopthongization that happens when I say it that way, lmao
