that milk bottle becomes [mɪok ˈbɒto] (almost like ‘miwk bottoo’), and football becomes [ˈfʊʔbɔo] (‘foo’baw’).
• glottalling, using a glottal stop [ʔ] (a catch in the throat) instead of a t-sound in certain positions, as in take it off [teɪk ɪʔ ɒf], quite nice [ˌkwaɪʔ ˈnaɪs]. This is not the same as omitting the t-sound altogether, since plate [pleɪʔ] still sounds different from play [pleɪ]. Nevertheless, authors who want to show a non-standard pronunciation by manipulating the spelling tend to write it with an apostrophe: take i’ off, qui’e nice. The positions in which this happens are most typically syllable-final — at the end of a word or before another consonant sound. London’s second airport, Gatwick, is very commonly called[ˈgæʔ wɪk] (“Ga’wick”).

than to the [ɪ] of bit at the end of words like happy, coffee, valley. Many recent works on English phonetics transcribe this weak vowel as [i] which can then be interpreted in various ways according to the speaker's accent. In strong syllables (stressed, or potentially stressed) it is crucial to distinguish tense long [ i:] from lax short [ɪ], since green must be distinct from grin and sleep from slip. But in weak syllables this distinction does not apply — the precise quality of the final vowel in happy is not so important.
• yod coalescence, using [ t∫] (a ch-sound) rather than [tj] (a t-sound plus a y-sound) in words like Tuesday, tune, attitude. This makes the first part of Tuesday sound identical to choose, [ʧuːz].
