Meat and eggs

0 Hi,02br
00do you tap the T in "meat and eggs"? Or does it become like the final part in "mountain", where the T is usually not released?02br
01i00meeduh neggs02br
00meetn eggs02i02br
02br
00I never paid attention to that, but I heard someone pronounce "in" after a word ending in T, and they joined the T and the N as in "mountain"... the meet in the box... the meetn the box...02br
02br
00Any opinions? Thanks 050010id1

0 Thanks MM. Interesting, I'd never noticed that feature. Sometimes it sounds good to me, but there are a lot of cases I am not sure of. 02br
