Answer 1

No that’s weird

Answer 2

I said it out loud and I do not pronounce it at all

Answer 3

I always pronounce the "t".

Answer 4

I've always said it as off-ten.

Answer 5

I do. I had to think about it.

Answer 6

I don't. My partly British education is to blame!
But instead of ..not often...i say seldom which you don't here that often anymore.

Answer 7

No, but I have a rich local accent, and round ere we wudent say offen anyroad, we'd say much.

Answer 8

Very seltdom.

Answer 9

I do. It's just proper english pronounciation.

Plus, how is someone going to justify that they are speaking when they are not doing it with clarity? Speaking a language is necessarily to precisely speak that language.

Answer 10

Always pronounce the T.

Answer 11

I think I used to and a big fuss was made in 7th or 8th grade when I pronounced it; the teacher said something about Shakespeare and I wasn't sure if I pronounced it and wasn't supposed to or didn't pronounce and was told that I should. Anyway, don't think I do nowadays, but I suspect the answer is that I usually do not, but sometimes do.

Answer 12

Nope never have.

Answer 13

Does anyone pronounce the "t" in soften? Of course not, the t is silent as it is in often. I also treat the "u" in aunt as silent but I think that's more of a regional thing. Speaking of the silent "t" there's a story that Jean Harlow met Margot Asquith and pronounced her name as "Mar-gott". Lady Asquith told her the "t" was silent, like the "t" in "Harlow"

Answer 14

I used to, many years ago, but no longer pronounce the 't'.
