Ask questions or just talk about different languages. Since BrainKing is an international game site supporting many languages, this board can be kind of useful.

Since we will be dealing with pronunciation of words rather than their spelling, I think it's useful to have a link to The sounds of English and the International Phonetic Alphabet.

Sujet: Re:

KotDB: Yes. I was saying that they often do that. After all it's just an option. But many do it.

Now, I have a question:

Will it sound odd to you if I pronounce the word utilization with a /d/ sound instead of a /t/ sound?

I mean do I hav ethe option of replacing the 't' after 'u' with a /d/ sound just like we do it in words such as 'better' or 'later' ?

Is there a rule as to where we can replace a /t/ sound with a /d/ sound? Or is it dependant on whether we wish to do it or not?

Thank you.
