Sometimes the letter T or letters TT are pronounced more like a D than a T. “Letter” sounds almost like “ledder” and “party” like “pardy.” It is called a “flap” T because the tip of the tongue flaps (or taps) the ridge behind the upper front teeth. (When does a “flap” T occur? Send us your contest entry and we'll send you the rules at the end of the month.)
Now here’s the contest:
Which words do NOT use a “flap T”?
1. Saturday
2. antiques
3. tomorrow
4. between
5. little
