She over pronounces her "t"s often
I don't over pronounce my Ts. I just pronounce them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

By "distinctive," do you mean you aspirate the second T in each word? ETA: Gotcha.

That's exactly what she said.

My Ts are usually both unvoiced and aspirated, and it doesn't depend on stress in the sentence or position in the word.

Well, they're there, aren't they? Might as well use them.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I have an...ethical question, I guess.
While I never graduated from college, I do put the 2 schools I went to to show that I did, in fact attend college, on my resume. I do NOT put that I graduted, nor do I put GPA's. I don't put dates, either. If a potential employer assumes I have a degree but never asks me if I graduated(to which I would absolutely say, "No"), can they get pissy when they find out I don't? I mean, I know they "can"... I'm honestly not trying to make it look like I have a degree, I just want to show that I continued my education past high school.
How could I show that I did go to school after high school in a way that wouldn't be so...open to assumption?

Aimée, I don't know. I don't put GPA down or that I graduated either -- one person did ask me why I didn't graduate, which was awkward -- I tool 3.5 years to finish. Should have been three, but I got lazy about making up a course I was sick for. Who wants to talk about that in an interview? But he thought I dropped out before my final semester.
Maybe say you studied XYZ, and not use the terms BA or BSc, or whatever's appropriate?

Sorry -- I brain-farted. Unvoiced, aspirated, will edit.

Broom, keep your teeth together and say "teeter totter". Then say "duh". It's the toungue against the teeth with tht "t" sounds that makes the difference.
