pronunciation
editthough much noticed, I think the supposed [bd] pronunciations might be how some dialects of US English sound to others' ears, even other Americans. If the vowel is not shortened before the cluster, even an actual [pt] might sound like [bt] or [bd] to listeners used to hearing a short vowel there. This same process may have also given us labtop. —Soap— 21:25, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
