I wonder why nobody ever says just "It's". For example:
John: "That engine's not running right."
Steve: "It's."

Language is weird. Heck, how do you think people generally pronounce
the word
"can't".

Without the t. So it sounds more like "can".

You bugger. Bet I will focus on that
bloody word every time its used now.

Just watched the first ep of the Manson tapes and didnt.

Corse that might just be because it is so ****ing bizarre.

I have caught it in some speech I hear.

Have a friend who insists it just cannot be true. I talk to her on Zoom -- she
has agreed to let me record her without her knowing (at the time) and then see
how SHE sounds). She insists she ALWAYS pronounced the T. Will be interesting
to find out.

She is one hell of a teacher.

And its weird what clips she chose to use too.

Just weird.

Just set it for UK and looked at clips from there. True not just of
American accents but UK ones as well.

The weird thing for me is at regular speed I hear it as "can't" but at 1/3
speed I hear it as "can".

I dont myself even with that first trump clip.

On some of the clips I hear it as "can" but most I still hear it as "can't".
It is weird.
