Obnoxious pronunciation (1 Viewer)

[hermie]

Is that silent? I pronounce the t. :/

Actually you may be right

Often was pronounced with a t -sound until the 17th century, when a pronunciation without the [t] came to predominate in the speech of the educated, in both North America and Great Britain, and the earlier pronunciation fell into disfavor. Common use of a spelling pronunciation has since restored the [t] for many speakers, and today [aw-fuhn] and [awf-tuhn] [or [of-uhn] and [of-tuhn] ] exist side by side. Although it is still sometimes criticized, often with a [t] is now so widely heard from educated speakers that it has become fully standard once again.

I LOVE sec-sual instead of sec-shual. Sounds like the way Kate Bush might say it

How do you feel when Pat Kenny says it?

Elton John says it like that too, in Candle In The Wind (I'm not sure about Goodbye England's Rose)
