I thought such an additional "t" was only a part of British English. But it seems the same goes for North American accent, as well then ???
By the way, does this "t" in between "n" and "s" sound a part of RP accent or is it seen as a part of "posh" English ???
Lastly, speaking of "posh" English, RP and Plummy are seen as "posh" in Britain. What is the equivalent there in North America ??? In the same way, Hugh Grant is associated with "posh" plummy accent. Who would be the equivalent "posh" speaking celeb in North America ???
