As a Utahn I agree.

That’s because you haven’t lived anywhere else you tool.

With the dropping syllable, like in probably, I kind of drop an extra one, so instead of "Prob'ly" i often just say "Prolly" now that im thinking of it, I kind of flip-flop between the two

Who prounces "thank" with the "apple" vowel? "Thayngk" is universal in America, it's not just in Utah.

[@KasonOpdyke]

Pronouncing "thank" with the apple vowel is a prominent feature in most dialects of English, especially ones outside of North America, and is taught as a standard to most English learners. Keep in mind that this video was made for a German audience

@@KasonOpdyke Most Americans say "thaynks" except people in the South who say "thigh-nks". And then most people in the UK and Australia also say "thigh-nks". But I can't figure out which English dialects use the apple vowel.

[@KasonOpdyke]

People in the UK and in the south of the US don't tend to say "thigh-nks", the /ei~ai/ merger is only majorly acknowledged in Australia, the majority of British people pronounce "thanks" with the apple vowel. Southerners tend to pronounce it "thaynks". You can find vowel transcriptions online that portray "thanks" with the apple vowel, its the standard vowel pronunciation that ESL learners will typically familiarize themselves with.
