Texts might end in four consonants in some underlying representation, but does anyone actually pronounce it that way? I think I reduce it to “Tex” unless I make a conscious effort to enunciate.
- ummonk 5y agoYeah that's probably the case - I'm in the same boat (two consonants as in "tex" unless I consciously try to enunciate it in full). Three consonant endings do get routinely pronounced in full in English though, e.g. "thinks".
