It would be useful for linguists to comment on the drift in Standard American English pronunciation of "button" toward [ˈbʌʔ.ʔn̩] and even [ˈbʌʔ.ʔən], with the first syllable closing with a glottal stop and the second opening with one, followed by a vocalic "n" or [ən]. This same drift is evidenced in the pronunciation of "mitten." The drift appears to be generational. It is not evidenced in the pronunciation of those approx.30–40+ years of age, while younger folks seem to exhibit it with great consistency. I've not seen this discussed in any linguistic journal or on the web. 2600:8802:5B07:4600:C58F:1D4C:296B:CFA7 22:52, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Justin Rizzo-Weaver
