In some podcasts (it seems the speaker was from California) I heard that the word "especially" was pronounced with "ks" sound like "ikspeshally".
What was it likely to be, personal way of pronouncing this word or a local dialect?
Answer
I live in Idaho and I hear people pronounce especially this way all of the time.
More often than not (at least around here) it gets pronounced either "ex-specially" or "eck-specially" or "eg-specially". There are many people here who have their own dialect.
Don't even ask me about "creek" and "crick"...
