I am an Indian student, and I must say, I have encountered a lot of variability over the pronunciation of this seemingly harmless word. I'm quite perplexed here.

Dr. Walter Lewin, a renowned physics professor from the MIT, pronounces it with a little to no emphasis on the "t", and simply glides over to the rest of the word.

Google translateon on the other hand,gives gives a slight more emphasis on the " t""t", but it also adopts a more British accent for it.

While in India, our professors enunciate that "t", in fact roll their tongues over it, and even end the word with a harsh " t""t" sound. So who is actually correct here?
