I've lived in CT my whole life, and I cannot stand the sound of a hard "t" in the middle or at the end of a word. I don't know why, but it bothers me, and I won't say it, even if I technically pronounce words wrong because of it. This is null and void if I'm speakign in a fake British accent, but I don't do that often.
