Don't you just love it when you make sartorial decisions in the early morning that turn out to be less-than-wise in the cold light of day?

I haven't even looked in the mirror since I left my apartment this morning. I know I look like death on toast. I don't need to know if my shirt is on backwards. Insult to injury.

I say the t in height, but not the t in often. I have the same "hick" vs "affected" problem as tommyrot with that word. And also with "aunt"

I don't get how someone could not say the 't' in height.

I don't say the t in often, and pronouncing height with a th sound at the end is one of my pet peeves.

Allyson, out of tape? Want me to get more for you? Also, no day off sucks and is unamerican.

And also with "aunt"

In 9th grade English, my teacher asked to to raise our hands if we pronounced "aunt" as "ant" or "awnt." I was the only one in the class who pronounced it "awnt." So at some point I decided to conform and pronounce it "ant." I pronounced it that way for years. Now I've sorta' switched back to "awnt."

Ant and off-en here. I also say "mirror" as meer, from being brought up in Milwaukee.

I don't say the t in often, and pronouncing height with a th sound at the end is one of my pet peeves.

Hmm... I didn't even think about the third pronunciation.

You've got:

HeighT (where you say the "t")
Heigh t (where you sort of swallow the "t"/make it nearly a "d")
Heighth

I deffinately do the second -- pure Jersey T. Acting school really didn't train that one out of me. (So much so that it didn't even occur to me that I wasn't pronouncing the "t".)

All you people who don't pronounce the 't' in height must be height.

Sorry....

I'm at work today, too, but I'm good with that since all the no-long-weekends this fall lead to a full week off next week for Thanksgiving.

Don't hate me. I swear I earn it!
