  What you’re describing is called a glottal stop.  It has been going on for forever, it’s not new, it’s more of a regional accent than anything. >
  
  Wait till OP hears about contractions! >
  
  He'll have a vowel movement. >
  
  Do all young people do this? or are you just assuming because you heard a few people do this? >
  
  It will keep evolving OP deal with it >
  
  Have noticed as well. Gave it a boomer shrug and revel in the evolution of language. >
  
  I think what you’re actually dealing with is that the Californian accent of pathologically pronouncing every syllable was exported globally because of media, and that’s fading a bit. >
  
  I live in California and at least in Southern California most people use the glottal stop. I’ve never heard someone pronounce both T’s in important unless they’re speaking very slowly. >
  
  There's Californian, and then there's Hollywood with the extreme diction. My speech class trained us to pronounce everything. >
  
  Complaining about the evolution of spoken language is like complaining about the weather. >

  Americans have been replacing middle t with D for s long time >

  It’s easier to drop the middle t when pronouncing but still easily portrays the intended word. >
