It's highly counterintuitive, but the truth of the matter, is that we rarely if ever pronounce the 'T' in negative contractions even before a vowel. There's a strong likelihood of a glottal stop, a fair likelihood of the "T' being elided completely and a very, very, very slim chance of a canonical /t/. | |
