Intended Words: weather

Heard as: waiter

Discussion: The medial voiced TH in weather is pronounced as [d]. In addition, the vowel in the first syllable is a close vowel rather than [ε]. S1 was confused because S2 started off talking about food, and she laughed when she realised her error. This is one of the few instances in this dataset where S1 asked for clarification.
