Cut off at the catalytic converter, so it runs good on regular gas.

I say atlantic probably cause its a rare word that isnt used a lot in fast slang, and I dont have a strong regional accent, plus Im more aware of it and probably telling a story at the time.@Chargeride: Is it OK to pronounce "t" in the middle of the word, or should I absolutely replace it with a glottal stop?
That is, can I say "Atlantic" or it has to be "A'lan'ic"?
I've noticed a related treatment of the internal "t" in American English just in the last decade or so, mostly from younger speakers. By example, the internal "t" in "important" is dropped to yield "imporâ–¡ant", where the "â–¡" is some kind of stop or tiny pause. Not exactly the glottal stop in Hawaiian.@Chargeride: Is it OK to pronounce "t" in the middle of the word, or should I absolutely replace it with a glottal stop?

Ah, so that's where it comes from! Horrifying to think that our beautiful American English might have been contaminated by the Brits.The infamous Majorca advert
