Scottish people do pronounce their "ts" differently than other English speakers. They tend
to use a "glottal stop" sound instead, which is made by briefly closing the vocal cords. This
can make the "t" sound in words like "butter" sound more like "bu'er" to non-Scottish
speakers.

Yes I do.

yes, thats how i say the words. The only time t's are pronounced traditionally is at the beginning and end of words, and even then, not so much :laugh:

I was re-reading David Copperfield again over the weekend and this section made me self-conscious of how I say the word :joker:
perhaps, but I couldn’t azackly’—that was always the substitute for exactly, in Peggotty’s militia of words—‘bring my mind to it.’

I don't in exactly, but I do in Batman

hijaxers 10-04-2023 06:05 PM

rusticgal 10-04-2023 06:11 PM

the absolute worst tragedy of English is adults who cannot pronounce the basic TH sound

a tragedy of primary education in this great nation of ours

Can you tell the difference between a Scot trying to say "butter", and deliberately saying "bu'er" ? If that makes sense?

Beso 10-04-2023 08:22 PM

I'm very Scottish and I pronounce the T very strongly.
