The Words “Mountain” or “Fountain”

[markfromj]

Do you realize you don’t say the “t”?

You say “mau” “in” or “fau” “in”.

Um I say the “t”

It’s mount-in or fount-in

This is some kind of regional accent and I am on the cusp of it. If I’m speaking quickly or informally I might periodically drop the “T” I think it MIGHT be an upper Great Plains thing that spills into northern Iowa and gets less common the further SE you go. I knew a family that moved to NE IA from NW Iowa and they all consistently spoke as you described. I could be way off on this.

I've noticed this with other people. It does make me smile when I hear it for some reason.

Also, When mount in OP's mom she releases a fount in.
