  • If you want to criticize people for WRITING it this way, I'm fine with that. But articulating the D in speech is just idiotic, unless you're giving a sermon or something. And I'm not sure why you'd be mentioning iced tea in a sermon anyway...

  • I'm trying to work out how you would articulate 'iced tea' and 'ice tea' differently. The extra t wouldn't affect the aspiration of the following t. It might possibly make the preceding vowel fractionally shorter, but I doubt the effect would be noticeable. All I can think of is a delay between the end of the friction of s and the release of the second t. (Separate release of the two t's is wholly unnatural.) But this delay would only be audible in slow, careful speech anyway.

  • I think that Clouseau would always articulate the "d" in "ice-ed tea." In fact, he has a lisaunce to do so.
