It looks like "English" yeah, but it doesn't sound like it. People don't say it the way it's spelt, they say "Inglish." Maybe it is a regional dialect thing.

reckon - that's a Southern favorite. I do reckon.

"Buoy" is a strange looking word, with a touch of the Far East about it - and when an American says the word, he is clearly abandoning English altogether, metaphorically throwing up his hands and saying, "Bway-who-hayee" or something similar that I can't quite remember. ;)
Why can't you guys just say "boy", which is the way me and the Queen pronounce it ?
