What gives? Has anyone noticed in the last few years the trailing "t" is being made silent? Granted this is occurring in primary one demographic but I'm hearing the practice spread among others and I wonder how long until this becomes common practice. What the hell am I talking about? I'm talking about "gift" becoming "gif" and test becoming "tes", among many others. Listen and you'll hear it.
My only question is why? Why? Why? Why? WHY? We're not talking about one of the "English as a second language" crowds either. How did this start and how can it be reversed. I am "lef" to wonder.
