what I do notice that where we Use "T"s such as

"what do you want?" they sound as if they say "Wadda You want."
Often the "T"s in the middle of a word get changed to D's.


One thing I notice many Brits say is: somethink/sumfink-- when they mean SOMETHING. Or Nuffink-- nothink- instead of Nothing- NUthing. they tend to add a "K" sound when it should be "ING."


I hear it a lot on the TV.

also the letter "H" aich. I hear quite a lot of people say HAICH when they mean "AICH" they seem to think that they have to actually sound the letter HAICH-- to match the letter itself.

I guess thats probably a Londoners trait.

Many of us drop the last "T" in a word.
