*Where* are you hearing this? I've noticed that, in New England,
people substitute a glottal stop for the middle "t" or "d" in many
words; thus, bottle becomes bo''le, little becomes li''le, and didn't
becomes di'n'' (the final "t" disappears as well).

985.4 | The "t" and "d" confusion again!! | CALS::THACKERAY | | Tue Jul 07 1992 10:41 | 6 |
| Now I think I know what causes my auditory confusion in this case.
Usually, the glottal stop is substituted for a "t" (listen to
London's Cockney, for example). In this case, it's also being done
for the "d" or "dd", too, which sounds really strange.
