Can I omit the “t” in some words?

I've seen many people pronouncing words without the t, like fantasy, mentally and elementary, becoming like: fanəsee, menəlee,eləmenəree. But someone told me that it's not omitted, but glottalized, like the word “certain”, “button”, etc. Can someone tell me if it can be omitted or if it is glottalized as this person told me?

Why is it "He is Risen"?

Why is it "He is Risen"?

Should it not be "He has risen"? Sounds weird to me. (Reposted to remove names)

What’s your go-to phrase for sounding polite but still being a little sarcastic?

Mine is: ‘Thank you for your request. You know how much we value your opinion. We’ll give it the consideration it deserves.’

Why is 'Reagan' in 'Ronald Reagan' not pronounced as 'Ree-gan'?

Is it because people get to decide how their own (last) name is pronounced or is there a deeper explanation to it?

Why is it "were" and not "was"? I thought days are singular?

I noticed this image on the Internet. is it true? so I can only say "I have no idea" instead of "I've no idea"?
