I spent the last couple of days at a conference, and at that conference I heard a presentation presented by a woman who had a speech pattern so unusual that I figured I’d put it on this here blog.
The woman pronounced the word “most” like “mowsht.”
I’m not trying to make fun of her, especially if this is a result of a speech impediment, but it came off as some sort of regional pronunciation, except I don’t know of any region that adds a consonant between the ‘s’ and ‘t’ of a word, and also—she didn’t add the letter ‘h’ in words such as “blasting” and “yesterday,” which made this mispronunciation all the more strange.
