Off-ten, I suppose, I don't speak outloud the word very often though, but yeah, I think that I pronounce it 'off-ten'. n_n;;;

I honestly don't know how I pronounce it. I feel like I do it both ways, but now I'm overthinking it and I don't know how I say it. o_o;

I think I pronounce it "of-ten" if I'm saying, "more often than not."

But if I'm asking, "how often?" or something like that, then I say it "off-en."

The rest of the time, I don't know. Probably "off-en" cuz I'm lazy and it just seems to flow easier that way...

I say it as "offen". No need to add a "t" sound because it just makes more work, and more work sucks. XD
Amen to that. XD

I pronounce it "offen". It annoys me so much when people pronounce it "often" with the t. The 't' is silent! x_x
Exactly. "Of-ten." >_< I pronounce it "offen" because, like ya said, the t is silent.

Offtopic: Did you block me on MSN, Kylie?

Ontopic:
I pronounce it offen. I very rarely say of-ten (I've only said it about three times not counting saying it when I saw this thread. :p).

I say offen. I dont pronounce my Ts so when I tell my mom I'm on my laptop, I tell her, I'm on the innernet XD
Interesting poll idea. We should have faceoffs with all different pronunciations. That would be a really good idea.
