As for myself, I don't even *say* the T unless I'm being emphatic--it
ends up as [rOUm&n1k]. Hmm...actually, there might be a very, very weak
alveolar flap in there somewhere.
I find this to be true with a whole lot of words in my idiolect--I seem
to practice more eclipsis than anyone else I know. :)
