Answer by i am dog
it may be hard to hear the t, but it’s there.
like in clinton. it’s more of a stop, than an explosive t like the english use.
i have tons of friends from phoenix who don’t say the t in button. it’s more like buh-n.
Answer by Boy
I agree with “i am dog”. The T is still there. It’s just mixed with the N to produce an odd consonant stop. Only a few accents completely drop the T.

Everyone on here so far has been at least partially correct. Different areas of the United States will pronounce words differently. They spell it with the “t” and actually to them they are pronouncing the “t.” After you listen to them enough, you will begin to hear it. Generally, the most obvious people at using the semi-silent “t” will be in the Southern United States, and in many rural areas throughout the country. It is also present in some predominately ethnic areas due to the adaption of various languages and their native accents into a melting pot of English speaking people. People in the South tend to slur their words together a little more and pronounce the vowels and more important consanents in a word more than other letters. That is why you will miss hearing some of the letters. Being from the South, I find it beautiful to hear, but even I must admit that when I haven’t been back home for quite sometime I have to listen to the entire sentence as it is spoken to really understand what some of my distant relatives are talking about.
I wanna…I want to
I donnow…I don’t know
It isn’t just the “t’s” either.
Water you doin…What are you doing?
Wear u goin…Where are you going?
Whose that..Who is that?
Gimme that…give me that
In the Northern areas of the United States you will notice people speak faster than they do in the South, and chop their words more. They pronounce more of the vowels and consanents, but to a Southerner it sounds rapid and confused. They also have some slang that differs from the South. We say “You’ll”…You All. They say “Yous”…both meaning “you and others like you or with you”
After you’ve been around a group for a few hours, you will be amazed at how quickly you will begin to understand what they are saying. That’s one of the wonderful things about the English language and accents.

But I **do* differentiate between winner and winter.
BTW — maybe you don’t care about orthography, but pronounciation is really spelled pronunciation

It’s called “Glottal Stop” 
It’s common in many accents within the UK!
replace /t/ to /:?/
1. I do’t know about Americans, sorry.
2. in Cockney accent (East End of London) they never pronounce /t/ in the middle of the word : so fantasy = fan:?asy (:? = like E+A, sorry I can’t explain it )
3.
example = Received Pronunciation = Cockney
Butter = /ˈbʌtə/ = /’bʌ:?ə/
Cutter = /ˈkʌtə/ = /ˈkʌ:?ə/
Button = /’bʌtn/ = /’bʌ:?n/
check on here, BBC gives a good explanation about “Glottal Stop”
