I thought both variants were correct.Originally Posted by doninphxaz
I mean, earlier I didn't know t can be pronounced in "often" but then I heard a lot of people do so...
Я где-то читала, что "звОнит" вполне может скоро стать нормой. Потому что, да, это оправдано по типу многих глаголов: ходИть -- хОдит, курИть -- кУрит и т.д. Это же орфоэпия -- самая быстро меняющаяся часть языка. ТворОг/твОрог, например, уже оба варианта правильные и давно, хотя я предпочитаю творОг.Originally Posted by муравей
The only thing that irritates me a bit is when people say "снех" instead of "снег [снек]". I know one woman who pronounces it like that.
Maybe also "поэт" instead of [паэт] in non-official, everyday speech. Though if I ever heard it pronounced like that, it was jokingly.Originally Posted by translationsnmru
Being snobbish in that way is rather difficult. The only thing to do is to pronounce stuff correctly and scoff at those who don't. But you'll always find that you get at least some words wrong, so your snobbishness goes out the window.Originally Posted by Hanna
