Depends who I'm with. In my real accent, most Ts get dropped. Even in words like fourteen, and certainly in often.

If I'm having to speak properly, though, I'll pronounce it as a soft T so it'd sound more like offden.

I prounounce the T, however if I'm drunk it's gonna be "offa".

A lot of people pronounce "Often" with a silent "t".

Really? Like who? Everyone I know pronounces the "T" :/

Like half the people who voted on this poll.

The correct way, without the T. The T is silent. Look it up.

I looked it up, and it's said that both are right, but pronouncing it without the "t" is more proper.

Well in my book more proper is the right way. :)

Depends on your accent, with mine the silent T works.

Well I'm german but people told me I barely have an accent...

I still know that pronouncing the T is less right so I am going to stick with not pronouncing it.

"less right" made me smile... it can be either right or wrong =P

However, I don't care what's right or wrong but what I prefer is with the "t"

I often forget how to pronounce, offen. :P

There should be a "it depends on how I feel that moment" option lol. Sometimes I pronounce the T, sometimes I don't.
Comment Hidden (show)
The "t" is usually there but sometimes I get lazy and it goes away.
