Damn, getting some hate for this post. Thanks, I guess. Lemme rephrase this post title, since this is the part I was curious about in the beginning anyway til everyone fixated on the “tion” and ignored the original ask altogether.

      I mostly hear ‘tin’ from women who tend to lisp slightly on the “kwess” and it literally comes out sounding like “kwess-tin.” I hear this all the time IRL and on TV. I was hoping to find out if other people notice this or not, but damn, y’all hyper fixated on me writing “tin.” Anyway, it has always seemed odd to me since the way I say it does sound closer to kwesh-tin, kwess-chin, or kwess-chun.

        If everyone focused on that then it’s a you problem. Also, use IPA, it’s easier to understand.
