Rhotic

People from Sacramento are really bad about leaving out t’s before vowels. When I say “intercontinental,” it sounds like “innercon’inennal.” Saoirse Ronan talked about about the accent when she was doing interviews after Lady Bird came out.

Same thing in my home town. Nobody pronounces Huntington Beach with the T in it.

It's become pretty common up and down the West Coast but I believe the habit originated in the Central Valley.
