I’m from Arizona (not the West Coast, but culturally and physically close enough).
My mom would always try to correct my pronunciation of “Latin”, “mountain”, and similar words with a /t/ realized as a glottal stop.
She’s from the East Coast, so indeed, maybe that pronunciation isn’t as common there.
- asveikau 5y agoYeah. That amuses me. I'll need to be honest... When I hear people overdo the flap pronunciation of /t/ in those specific words, it triggers something judgemental in me. I've been on the west coast for 14 years now, so I think I've gotten over it somewhat.
