It's an approximation, but the t is partially vocalized giving it a 'd' sound even if it's not made exactly the same way.
i just thought we were getting technical about the linguistics. i got and use both words frequently, thought the distinction might be appreciated. the difference is so subtle we sometimes have to ask each other which one we're referring to. i'm willing to bet it shows up more on my face than in my voice.
I appreciate the discussion, I get out of my depth pretty quickly on the topic being a linguistic hobbyist rather than someone with actual education and background.
