It is so wild to notice how much US English pronunciation has changed with words like "mountain", "important", etc.

Younger people (than me) now seem to put a glottal stop there. It is the weirdest fucking thing to me. I first noticed it in Sarah Kendzior's speech but now I hear it all over YouTube and Michael Che just did it as well. It's not just regional, it seems. #Language
