    I pronounced the "g" in "How are you doing?"
    The other two I pronounced naturally. Sometimes I drop the "g", and sometimes I do not. It depends on how drunk I am.

    It is common to drop the final "g", but it is not proper English.

    in RP English I think it is proper to drop the /g/ sound. I mean, if you look at the way words are transcribed, the final sound would be /n/ with this sort of curve.

    Rtyom - you rule, that was awesome rofl

    Спасибо, птичка. Кстати, вообще mage переводит как "маг". Короче можно меня зовить ЧерноМаг - что-то в таком роде.
