Greetings reed

I recall a previous thread on this at this site???

Anyway, I think "off-en" is the dominant form in Australia. I believe many here would regard "off-ten" as old fashioned - and don't believe that there are any "class" connotations with either pronunciation. (After all, one's social standing is pretty irrelevant in this country - any divisions seem moreso related to one's job). I am also unaware whether the pronunciation is "regionalised" here.
