Here's one last thing I want to leave you with today: I really hate it when you pronounce the T in 'often.' No, I mean REALLY.

I know the dictionary technically -- and begrudgingly -- says you can do it, but that T makes me, the Baby Jesus, and Condi cry.

Here is a good lesson:

The T is silent. You don't sound more intelligent by pronouncing the T, you just sound low-class and uneducated. You do not pronounce the T in the words soften, listen, glisten, fasten, chasten, gristle, epistle, apostle, bristle, rustle, hasten, and mistletoe, so why would you pronounce the T in often?

Just so we're clear. Thank you, and have a good night.
