Is this a pronunciation thing? Those words are not homophones where I am
Most everyone I know would pronounce them the same. The Pacific northwest hates pronouncing the letter ‘t’, either turning it into a ‘d’ sound, slurring past it, or at the end of words dropping it entirely

Nah, we pronunce them very differently here in the midwest. They sound as different as matter and madder.
America is big lol
A bit, yeah.
I’m from the PNW. I do pronounce the T sound in latter. I also put more emphasis on the first syllable than I do when pronouncing ladder.
Same in the northeast

Those don’t sound like homophones unless you’re from Bwoooaastaaan. 🤣🤣
I’ve never been to Boston, but been to a few major cities in north America and everywhere I’ve been would pronounce these the same.

I swear ta god I once read a story about this guy, around the time of Turing and Bletchley Park, who was an expert parachutist. His boss had a 4th floor office. And every time this parachutist left his boss’ office, he’d just jump out the 4th floor window because even without a parachute, he knew how to land without hurting himself.
(I’m not intentionally making this up, but unfortunately I can’t find any references online to it…)
