Do you pronounce the T sound in...

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.

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

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 :umm2: |
