For words ending in "-ity" is it ~t or ~d

[Benjamin Barrett]

It is NOT a "Spanish flap kind of d". It is an AmE sound, which
untrained Americans often hear as a "d" sound. Earlier, suggestions were
made that you take some basic courses in linguistics. Here is another
great case where such classes would be of service. BB
