I did a 🤯 when they pointed out that that we distinguish "can" from "can't" in spoken English using the vowel instead of the "t". E.g. "I c'nave the pie" vs "I c*a*nave the pie".
Sentences like "that's the kind of linguist I'm" periodically baffle the internet
In this episode, we dive into what's going on with them and more that you're kinda gonna wanna know from the world of clitics!

I think I have some sort of a stop in there for the t (maybe an alveolar stop).
(The same kind of stop that replaces the entire word “good” in “good morning”, I think.)
