It is supposed to be pronounced and should always be pronounced in formal situations, but sometimes with slang you will hear it pronounced as 'off-in' or if someone is speaking really fast they can skip over the 't' pronunciation.

@hye_jin17 Thank you for your comment! In formal situations, "t" should be pronounced, but in daily conversation, "t" is "often" skipped, right?

@rario: yes that's right, when I speak I'm usually pretty lazy in my speech like most Americans and don't pronounce a lot of letters in words but when I'm talking in formal situations like to my boss or my principal I try to pronounce everything. :)

It's okay to pronounce the "t."

@kemushi69 Never? Not even when your speaking slow? Hmm maybe it's different in the UK. I speak American English.

@rario: Yes, pronouncing T is more formal, like every word. ;)
