OfTen

We were watching TV and a character said: I hope you don’t ask me to do that too ofTen.
Often is pronounced offen, but is frequently mispronounced.
Me: I wonder if he would mind if I asked him to do it offen.
Austin: As long as it’s not too offen.
Me: I was disputing the pronunciation, not the modifier, Austin.
Austin: It’s Aussin. The T is silent.
