My pet peeve is that my FIL and stepMIL WAY overprounce T's. Like a normal conversation is "whaT caT is in the Tomato planT?" (stupid example) but they just SPIT those T's out. And once when we were playing apples to apples it was especially bad, and step MIL pulled "Tidal Wave" and kept saying it like "TiTe-al wave" and all of us kids were cracking up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silent-h#post-742377 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 13:28:48 +0000 lawbee11 742377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We definitely don't pronounce it YOUSTON!
