This is the most important T sound rule. When T comes between two vowel sounds and is not stressed, the T becomes a D sound. This happens in many words, such as water, strategy, and data. This rule also works in phrases with T as the last letter, yet between vowel sounds, as in what if, put off, or at all. There are a few exceptions, like protein, protest, and politics, but generally, this rule works very well.
