The t is silent. Anything else is just wrong and ignorant.

I say the t but I know it's wrong. But I'm a southerner so I have an excuse. Plus I don't say it that often

My long-standing philosophy is that t's should be seen and not heard. And, when asked they should create separate exam fora and not wait four years to do so.

I don't pronounce it, but I wouldn't call it "wrong" to. Just weird.
