That would explain some of my confusion. Also, is written ever flapped by native English speakers in the US? | |

| Apr 5, 2018 at 2:54 | comment | added | Xanne | A characteristic of non-native speakers I've noticed in conversation classes is fuzzy diction--swallowing the second and final consonants. It sounds odd to me to hear "winner" for "winter". | |

| Apr 5, 2018 at 2:21 | comment | added | Rodney Atkins | I'm not sure that pronouncing the /d/ in a word that contains a "d" could be considering flapping, at least according to the definition you provided. "Written" would be pronounced by many native speakers, especially in the U.S., with a glottal stop in the place of the /t/ sound. | |
