I’ve got a question. When people are on the phone, why does “Bye” suddenly turn into “mmBye”?

Emily Joy :
I heard a story during linguistics class that an American asked for a bottle in Scotland, and they thought she wanted a barrel. Because Americans roll the T in “bottle” the way Scottish people roll the R in “barrel”

Nicole Rachel :
I hear a lot of people pronounce “always” as “oh-ways” instead of “all-ways.” Would that be an example of a glottal stop or something else?

theirreverentreader :
I only use an actual T sound at the beginning of words. Otherwise it's a D or a glottal stop. If you hear me pronounce a T properly, you should probably run.

I hear a podcaster say “impor-nant” regularly, and I catch it every time. Never knew what to call it.

جُمانة 🇸🇾🇵🇸 :
syrian arabic uses it instead of the harder Q ق sound so like we would say "¿amar" instead of "qamar" (moon) 🥰

One thing I notice is when people say "mou-en" and "mout-n" the T in mountain falls away, and I find people from the north and west tend towards the "mou-en" pronunciation, while I myself say it more like "mout-n"

I feel like the correct pronunciation is “Glo’al Stop” regardless of your native accent.
