I'm with ilikeverin, considering that most of my pronunciation stems from my Midwestern family and a dozen years growing up in MN. So I voted other, since the t isn't really pronounced except as a stop between syllables. However, if asked to think about saying it alone for someone, I'd be prone to put the t in.
