    I'm thinking about it too much and now I don't know.

    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.

    Off-in

    It's wrong to pronounce the T and I'm not even English.
    In my language we are so lazy that, instead of saying "somtyds", we say 'soms'

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

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

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

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

    It's 100% IMPROPER English to pronounce the T in often. It bothers the fucking hell out of me. Like that weekend song, often often blah blah I do this often. AAAHHHHH!

    The "t" is usually there but sometimes I get lazy and it goes away.

    There should be a "it depends on how I feel that moment" option lol. Sometimes I pronounce the T, sometimes I don't.
