He's sort of right but he's not all the way right.

There's this trend going around that Californians  

don't pronounce the letter T in their  words. So if you're from California do  

write this. I'm going to put some words on the  screen, I want to hear how you pronounce them. 

Okay.

Santa Ana 

Monterey

So, what's happening here? Is it  

every T follows the pattern nt vowel diphthong? And that's a known situation where Americans  

not just Californians will often drop the T. Other examples: I want it. 

want it, no t. I can't even, no t. 

The internet's down, no t. I have a job interview next week. No t. 

I identify with you. No t. I need twenty bucks. No t.
