Dear Teachers,

This was written by a native speaker:

-How'd the job interview go?
-I aced it!

How do you pronounce "aced"? /t/ or /d/

Thanks a lot

Many people would use a /d/ there.

The word aced alone would naturally be spoken with a final /t/ but the following vowel has an effect of voicing the /t/ to a /d/.
