innernet, innernational, inneresting, inneract
You'll hear 'em all used within one half-hour show.
If we know what we're supposed to be hearing and we're familiar with the accent being spoken we'll fill in a lot of blanks. Listen carefully. I have frequently heard infastru[c]ture from national level newscasters.

FWIW, the word most commonly heard here is the sex-neutral "postie"
And so you pronounce that "po-see?"

restrain with a posey vest when in bed with 2 side rails up and a posey belt when
in the wheelchair. The use of the posey vest restraint has been in effect ...

I say /ofn/, and always regarded /oftn/ as substandard (until I become a proper linguist who doesn't make such pernicious judgements hem-hem).
this intrigued me, b/c i would've thought the opposite; i always pronounce the T and i'm not sure i've heard it the other way except perhaps from a child.
what about "February"? i pronounce the "r" that immediately follows the b, although it's so quick that you might miss it. definitely there, though. is the silent "r" considered a 'linguistically correct' alternative?
also, how about "wednesday"? i say 'win-s[t]ay', but it's always bothered me b/c it seems it should be pronounced something more like weddin'-s[t]ay. any thoughts?

Oh yes, its Wends day, (just as a brook might wend its way through a glenn) --until i go to write it-- then its Wed nes day...it this (ok, i have been told twice, but i still don't remember the term--) like brid --> Bird and pretty-->purty, and ask --> ax? Wednes became Wends?
and can you say it quickly--- before you think! Saturday
is it Sat'r day? Or Satur day? or Sat-her day? with no space in the Sat-her but a definate t at the end of Sat and an H before the (schwa)R? i think i say the last one..
it drives me crazy-- once we start talking about how we say things... because i tend to slip into a hyper correction... Often is a hyper correction..(i think!) it should be offen.

I say, "February," but am almost alone in doing so. My "Wednesday" sounds like "Wendsday," and my "Saturday" is sometimes closer to "Sadderday."
