3NB The t->d thing only happens in American English - in the UK it'll stay a "t", or in very informal speech become a glottal stop.psmears– psmears2011-06-07 20:13:39 +00:00Commented Jun 7, 2011 at 20:13

@Robusto: It's actually easier for most people to say Ed had edited it better enunciated, though. And I'll just leave this IPA here: [ˌɛdədˈɛdəɾədˌɪʔ]. @psmears: It's an alveolar tap [ɾ], not an actual [d].Jon Purdy– Jon Purdy2011-06-07 20:17:29 +00:00Commented Jun 7, 2011 at 20:17

@Jon: I know it's not technically the same as a [d], I was just following the terminology of the answer... but it still doesn't happen where I come from :)psmears– psmears2011-06-07 20:28:49 +00:00Commented Jun 7, 2011 at 20:28

2@Jon, both /d/ and /t/ become alveolar flap in that position so it's really more like [ˌɛɾəɾˈɛɾəɾəɾˌɪʔ]nohat– nohat2011-06-08 01:59:13 +00:00Commented Jun 8, 2011 at 1:59

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- Review existing tags and read their descriptions to learn when they should be used.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. single-word-requests), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
