how does one drop the T in synthesizer?? i'm whispering synthesizer at my desk like a weirdo trying to figure it out

winter and winner are homophones for me unless i really try to enunciate the t and it feels unnatural to do so

if the th in synthesizer was instead a t, it would sound to me like synne-sizer

as it is it just changes the sound to being created behind my front teeth instead of between the front and back
