I have several friends in Philly and Jersey who pronounce it "wood-er". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clearly-pronounce-the-t-in-water#post-476240 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 17:31:36 +0000 JerricaBenton 476240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another 'wadder' here. I would think it sounded strange for an American to say water with a clearly pronounced 't' It's like Clinton where most people say something like, 'Clin'in.' Not to threadjack so feel free to ignore me, but one that has always bothered me is the word 'comfortable.' I've tried but I just *can't* say anything other than 'comf-ter-bul.' LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clearly-pronounce-the-t-in-water#post-476231 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 17:27:21 +0000 MapleMoose 476231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another for "wadder" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clearly-pronounce-the-t-in-water#post-476213 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 17:21:01 +0000 MegWag 476213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When my British husband would come visit me in Texas while we were dating he would change his pronunciation from "water" to "wadder" because waitresses could never understand him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clearly-pronounce-the-t-in-water#post-476210 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 17:20:28 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 476210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol - It's more of a "d" than a "t" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clearly-pronounce-the-t-in-water#post-476207 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 17:19:59 +0000 Mrs. Train 476207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I say the t but its not emphasized. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clearly-pronounce-the-t-in-water#post-476206 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 17:19:49 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 476206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sort of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clearly-pronounce-the-t-in-water#post-476196 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 17:16:38 +0000 Bao 476196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Minnie_Girl: that just reminded me of Doc McStuffins lol.
