VIDEO: Latest from Waifu Amelia: Is YOUR job safe?

Once again, our AI darling, Waifu Amelia, says out loud what people are thinking, not just in No-longer-great Britain, but in all the AABC countries. Walt knows you're looking! Listen up!

Did you notice that the barmaid says "ma'er" for "matter"? That's an example of the glottal stop which is a hallmark of Essex English. That's the kind of English which David Beckham speaks -- a blend of traditional Cockney and Received Pronunciation.

Common throughout southeast England, the glottal stop in Essex English is a prominent feature of the Estuary English dialect, where the voiceless plosive /t/ sound is replaced by a closure of the vocal cords, particularly in the middle or at the end of words. 

t is often heard in words like "bottle" ("bo'el") or "that" ("tha'"). It grates on American and Canadian ears -- or Walt's at least -- but we'll give Amelia and her friends a pass, since Essex English is much easier to listen to than Bombay or Karachi English!
