I WAS recently listening to the local weather forecast and was struck by the clarity of the presenter’s voice. In particular, she pronounced all her Ts.
Has anyone else noticed the way the letter ‘T’ has gradually fallen into disuse in recent years? It seems that if it appears in the middle of a word then it changes, e.g. attitude becomes ‘a’ichude’, title becomes ‘ti’le’, wanted becomes ‘wan’ed’, etc.
It is good to see that the BBC’s pending new programme The Voice has as its compere the master of the missing T’s, Reggie Yates.
Well done the Beeb – an appropriate choice!
