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

Connected Speech & Natural Conversational Flow
When "pronator" is followed by a word starting with a vowel, glide the final consonant into the opening vowel (e.g. "pronator is" sounds like "pronator-iz").
Maintain the stress-timed rhythm of English: compress unstressed syllables rapidly so the beat of "pronator" aligns naturally with adjacent words.
