Maybe it bothers me more than it should....

There's a trend in spoken English language by younger adult people. Words like "mountain" are now pronounced "mow-un"; i.e. the t is silent.

It's called glottalization.

I wish they'd quit it and go back to pronouncing words properly. Now get off my lawn!
