Surf the In(t)ernet
In American English, when the “t” sound comes after the “n” sound, it is often not pronounced. This is called a silent “t”. The word “Internet” is often spoken as “Innernet”. The silent “t” is especially common in phrases (such as “San(t)a Claus”), contractions (such as “didn(‘t) it”), and verbs (such as “wan(t)ed”).
