| from my previous knowledge, this highly depends on regional variation of accents in phonolog (pronunciation). you could have a quick look at the underneath url, http://www.englishforums.com/English...ggjcd/post.htm and concern more with the second reply Last edited by up4ever; 28-Jun-2008 at 08:25. |

| But American Accent Course (Ann Cook) says: The soft T is pronounced like a d, so why mister here? Is the same true with doctor? |

| Forty is either /fɔrti/ or /fɔ:ti/ (for non-rhotic speakers), or /forɾi/, where ɾ is an alveolar tap similar to [d]. "Mister" is /mɪstə/, /mɪstər/, /mɪsɾə/, / mɪsɾər/ You should say / /fɔ:ti/ and /mɪstə/ unless you are very keen to adopt the American [r] sounds. |
