I have noticed some people pronounce "wanted" as "waned" without the "t". I want to know if this is correct or not?

I think most people pronounce it with the T. Pronouncing it without the T is not wrong but may be because of an accent

This is just to simplify pronounciation, so when someone is speaking quickly it might sound like theyre saying "waned" instead of "wanted". Spoken, this is correct

yes.. we often time omit the t if it's in the middle of a word.. for example we don't say "often" we say "ofen"

The correct was is with a T just when you speak fast it can sound like there is no T or that you hardly pronounce the T

Lots of youtube videos on this subject, you won't always hear a clear T sound.

Americans usually pronounce this word as "waned", without the T sound. You'll hear the T sound in countries like England and Australia.
