How to Change the Pronunciation of Certain English Words With Just One Sound
by Lori Dorn from Laughing Squid on (#6WQ9D)
Liz Plampton of English With Liz explained how to change the pronunciation of certain English words with just a single sound. She used the words better, bitter, and butter as examples of this phenomenon. For these words, British English uses a hard /t/" sound, in US English, that sound is more like a /d/", and with London English, the sound is a glottal stop in which the letters aren't pronounced at all.
