Innernet
Posted: Sun Dec 23, 2007 12:10 am
Ok, so I'm from North Jersey (which I find interestingly enough that I say "North Jersey" rather than "Northern New Jersey"... bitter rivalry, I guess...) Anyhow, everywhere I go around here, whenever the internet is mentioned in conversation, it is pronounced "innernet". Now, it's not to say that this is the only word pronounced without the "t", but it's the only one I could think of off-hand.
Also, I find it strange that we don't pronounce our "t"'s around here correctly, turning them into "d"'s.
For instance, "William's mittens were too tight." becomes "William's middens were too tight."
Another "t"-related aspect is that we don't pronounce "t"'s when they are at the end of a word. "Heat" becomes "hea-" with a drop at the end that almost makes a faint gutteral noise or click.
Anybody know what I'm talking about?
