I blame you guys. I never used the abbreviated phrase until I joined the DUMP.

I'm suddenly very tired. I think I shall retire to bed with my book and fall asleep with it on my face  _________________The Official "Saucy Minx"  This above all: To Thine Own Self Be True "Red sky at night, Shepherds Delight"..Which is a bit like Shepherds Pie, but with whipped topping instead of mashed potato.

The t is implied, never actually pronounced, other than as a glottal stop to the preceding word.

Eh? It is pronounced as in 'tuther'. Unless my dad was the only Yorkshireman in history to do it.

He couldn't have been, as that's how I've always heard it pronounced. _________________John Vella BSc (Hons), PGCE - Still the official forum prankster and crude remarker  Sorry  I'll behave now. Promise

There's nowt wrong with gala luncheons, lad! I've had more gala luncheons than you've 'ad 'ot dinners.
etc.
I always think people put the t in the wrong place.
It's not: put it in t'other one.
It's more: put it in't other one.
Although quite frankly I can't imagine a context where you would say that. Eh, John? Ain't that right? I said no possible contexts for that.

Leeds born and bred. I'm confused, the 't' is always pronounced otherwise it's just 'other'.

It's spelt "tother" and is not a contraction of "the other": I have variously comes across several usages: - tother,
- ?other - this being the prevalent version in the part of East Lancashire whence I originate,
- ?tother
( ? meaning a glottal stop ) _________________Jim

A bus landing on you would crush you like an ant. A bus weighs 7 tonnes. The sun weighs 1,989,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 tonnes and there are 400 billion stars of similar mass in our galaxy. There are at least 125 billion galaxies in the universe.
We are nothing.
