Or whether your enunciation is good or poor, Mine is ok, as I don't really have much of any accent, it's only my lisp which messes it up, and there are no S's there, so I can pronounce it correctly

Well some people can say certain letters ok, but can't be bothered. So you're ok. I've heard people get slagged off for dropping T's. So "butter" becomes "bu er" - sounds terrible.

There's nothing wrong with the glottal stop, it's a perfectly valid pronunciation of the letter T. After all they let south africans pronounce a soft 'a' so it sounds like a soft 'e' and the northern irish are allowed to say Howard and Hard so that they sound the same

Not studied that, although one of our teachers always complains that young people have "picked up that annoying Australian habit of raising the voice at the end of the sentence, as if everything were a question?"

Well I was gonnas get all annoyed at the NI comment, but I suppose some of us do say "Howard" and "hard" the same way. But there's still no excuse for not pronouncing the double "t" in the middle of "butter".

It's recognised as a valid feature of Cockney and Estuary accents though. In Standard English, of course, you're right, but this is how accents evolve.

True. It probably would. It's so funny hearing people tryiong to do an NI accent. They rarely can.

It's amazing how there can be so many different accents in one country. Here we have 11 official languages and a different accent for each of them.smiley - erm
