the "and" pronounced as "an" when reading the sentence?

The final 'd' of 'and' is sometimes omitted in dialects, but in standard English it is pronounced.

Why do you ask that question?

'and' is often reduced to 'n in all spoken registers of English.

Standard English isn't the robotic, stone cold dead conveyance of the queen's xmas message.

Are you saying the Queen's a robot? David Icke thought she was a shape shifting lizard.

That description also works, Izzy. Inbreeding brings out the best in royalty.

Like haemophilia?

Most people I know don't pronounce the final 'd'. Don't ever leave it out in your writing unless you are writing dialect.

Every English speaker on the planet compacts their speech, Ori, even in quite formal situations.

These verbal shortcuts are the bane of ESLs who are often used to viewing only the written word.

There are of course many many many more examples.

Each reduction, and there certainly are many, follows the rules for reducing sounds in speech and English speakers follow these rules fastidiously, each according to their own dialects. That's why it sometimes difficult for English speakers to follow the speech of other English dialects.

might sound like this;

a trust we bearen pass along

I read that sentence out loud several times, and for me, I definately pronouce the "d" in and.

When I put my tongue against the ridge in the roof of my mouth the make the "n" sound, I then immediately and quickly drop my tongue, with the tip flattened out and pointing upwards to the make the "da" sound of D.

In some phrases, for instance "sugar and spice" I don't pronouce the d. It comes out "sugar 'n spice"

That's hardly a scientific test, Chai. Here's another equally invalid test.

I read that sentence out loud many times and each time the pronunciation changed.
