Shouldn't that be "q3t"? Or do some English speakers really pronounce "that" with the vowel in "the"?

- kragen 2y agomost do in that context, though not in cases like this sentence, where 'that' takes a heavy stress and therefore doesn't undergo vowel reduction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_and_vowel_reduction_in_English https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_and_vowel_reduction_in_... (a shortcoming of that article, and often of linguistic studies of english in general, is that indian english has more speakers than either american english or british english, but gets rather short shrift in it; in particular, i don't know how consistently vowel reduction is applied in indian english, and its prosody is very notably different)
