It is? Will all due respect, that's not articulating, that's just pronouncing it wrong. Over-articulating a word would be to pronounce 'rathole' with a strongly audible 'h'. A bit stilted and unnatural sounding, but completely understandable, and a much better choice than trying to sound like a fluent native when your tongue is not capable of making the correct sounds, and having it come out sounding like 'rattle'.
