budder is softer than t flapping
It’s an approximation, but the t is partially vocalized giving it a ‘d’ sound even if it’s not made exactly the same way.
i just thought we were getting technical about the linguistics. i got and use both words frequently, thought the distinction might be appreciated
I appreciate the discussion, I get out of my depth pretty quickly on the topic being a linguistic hobbiest rather than someone with actual education and background.
