editing, editor

0 Hi,02br
00are the t's in "editing" and "editor" tapped? I think they should be tapped, but since there's already a D right before the T, tapping those t's doesn't sound very good to me. I've never heard those words pronounced, so I'm asking here.02br
00Thanks 050010id1

0How strange, I didn't think of "edited it" and a tapped T really sounds better there. That means my istinct sometimes works! 05002br
00I usually tap t's in words like "reality", "electricity", etc., I like them better that way.02br
