Millennials have problems pronouncing their Ts. Wish I had a nickel every time I heard one refer to Putin as “Pu-in”.

Yes, that's part of the dropping consonants, the Dih-un and Impor-un, ghetto-type speak I noted.

Yes,they do the glottal stop thing in place of a soft T or D.

In many American dialects, the glottal stop is sometimes used in place of a hard T, especially if the word ends in “en” or “on”(eg kitten, cotton) or even a soft D (eg Biden, cordon).

But the thing I most wish they would clean up? F’n using the F’n Fword F’n five F’n times in every F’n sentence!

The use of ‘I know, right?’ Right? Right? drives me inane as well.

Thanks for the video. It’s sorely needed.
