I was taught OFTEN should be pronounced without the T: off-en.
Recently on radio I've heard it pronounced with the T: off-Ten.
I don't consider that wrong (the dictionary lists both as acceptable). But in the past I rarely heard it with the T; now it seems much more common.
Has anyone else noticed this?
This comes up often. You can see one discussion here:

Try using the discussion search and look for the word Soften.
