"Lay'uhn" does not exist. LAYtON with a soft T absolutly does though.

Zach Morris

Bro, I live there, and that's how they say it. Lay. Un. No discernable T sound.

Glottal stop.

TaiJuan

Your issue is where the syllable breaks. Mount'n. layt'n.

TaiJuan

What is a Utah accent?

Jericho

How do you pronounce the word "fork"?

VACOUGFAN

11/17/15 10:48am

Me? Or Utahns?

Jericho

I'm referring to the Utahn accent.

VACOUGFAN

I thought it was Sizzle the Dizzle. I'm so confused.

Also, the only people I know who insist on pronouncing the "G" in "ING"

What's worse? The PNW over-pronunciation of the "t." It's unnatural.

TaiJuan

11/17/15 10:53am

Wow. Had never heard that before. Interesting.

VACOUGFAN

11/17/15 10:56am

if anything its an under-pronunciation of the "t" that bothers me

MormonThug

11/17/15 10:59am
