Thought I should share it here :)
(Also I don’t have a cassettes’ player LOL)

I know people who pronounced it clearly, and others who pronounced it as a glottal stop/alef. Why is that? Is it based on regions? Or ethnic backgrounds?

I notice myself sometimes not pronouncing it either.

For example, this is a screenshot of Gal Gadot explaining israeli slangs. And they wrote the transliteration of Hey as an O.

And she literally looked at it and proceeded just explaining the meaning of the slang without commenting on the transliteration…

Would be interesting to hear what you chevreh think.
