Where have the "T's" gone?
In article ,
says...
We have a pretty, very young new reporter on the local NBC affiliate. She does something that drives us crazy.
Last night we watched a bit of the show "Titans", which is an athelectic challenge hosted by "The Rock", Dwayne Johnson. His announcer was doing it too.
Titan was pronounced "Ti-an".
Important as "Impor-ant".
Mountain as "Moun-an".
Where the hell is that missing T sound, and when did society start thinking it's OK or cool to mispronounce words? It's like fingernails on a chalkbooard to me.
Language changes over time. You won't be able to stop it and there is no
reason you should.
