I’ve been noticing for some time now, vendors and host alike have started a new way of speaking! Yes, so new it’s like a toddler. Help me understand what’s going on! Maybe you know someone like this! Ok, examples are cotton- co nn, button- bu nn, Burton- Bur nn, Mountain-Mou nn! I’m seriously confused! Help!

Maybe they are from a foreign country and don't know that the letter t is not silent in these words. Or maybe they do not know how to spell the words.

If only that were it! No, they are Americans!

One QVC host whose name I don't know (relatively new) says button as bu-un. It is very annoying. It sounds like baby talk. Also, often has a silent 't'.

Is it only on QVC or have you noticed it elsewhere. It could indicate the start of a hearing problem if you are missing certain letter sounds such as Ds or Ts.

Lol, just on the Q!

I got it. You are poking fun at Amy and her speech impediment. Not cool.
02-12-2018 08:33 PM
No I’m not! You’re not cool!

What speech impediment? She has a squeaky voice but no impediment I have noticed. The Sketchers vendor is the one I noticed with the silent t.
