readin

Enter into memory

Readin is an informal or dialectal spelling of reading, representing the dropped g in casual speech: I was just sittin' here readin' the paper.

The spelling appears in dialogue, song lyrics, and social media to convey a relaxed or regional voice.

In technical contexts, a read-in (hyphenated) is a briefing session where someone receives classified information.
