Water Droplets In Orbit On the International Space Station

BuzzSkyline writes "Astronaut Don Pettit, who is aboard the International Space Station right now, puts charged water droplets into wild orbits around a knitting needle in the microgravity environment of the ISS. A video he made of the droplets is the first in a series of freefall physics experiments that he will be posting in coming months."

Zero g education

Zero g as in dropping the 'g' off 'knitting' . It was interesting that he kept the g for orbiting, always dropped it for knittin, but there was one other word that I heard him say where he dropped the g. Is this an indication of when and where he first learnt these words? Or is it just lazy pronunciation, and he can get away with saying knittin, but not orbitin?
