The Trap: Pronouncing a hard, aspirated [tʰ] in casual conversation can sound overly formal in North America.

Connected Speech & Natural Conversational Flow
When "ideators" is followed by a word starting with a vowel, glide the final consonant into the opening vowel (e.g. "ideators is" sounds like "ideators-iz").
