Have you been to New England for a lobster dinner?  In the Northeast Seacoast it could be a “lobstah” dinner.  Most people up there drop the “t” in often, but never use the “t” in soften.  And  the “ei”  they pronounced “ee” not “i”.  I’m just having fun with some dielects along sea coast New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts; however, there are hundreds in New England.
