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

How Native Speakers Say It: In American English, a single "t" between vowels quickly taps against the alveolar ridge like a soft "d" ([ɾ]). In British English, maintain a crisp aspirated [tʰ].
