My morning radio feed has a new fill-in traffic reporter with that current language trend of not pronouncing terminating Ts and it's distracting. I wonder where it came from and why it's so rampant recently?

"There's an acciden aa the stree where ih crosses the river in the wess end."

Funny how speech trends come and go, and sometimes stay. I suspect Tiktok is amplifying it. Modern accents are becoming disconnected from geography and more about subculture/demographics.

@ottaross Some thing cropping up in Canadian English in the last couple of years that really bugs my ears is "Keyjanada" ,🤮

@TransitBiker once you notice it you'll start seeing it everywhere in younger folk. Feels like the last two or three years.
