Glottal stops/notation

[Pafra & Scott Catledge]

Shouldn't those final consonants have a period underneath--or whatever is
the e-mail way of distinguishing them as syllables--or is that another
school of phonetics.  Anyhow, to answer your question, in the Southeast I
have only heard bod?l, sad?n, and whatever the third example was.  I have
heard bot?l and sat?n from Northerners at parties and social gatherings.  I
have never heard bo?l or sa?n from any speakers of any ethnic group, race,
or social class although I have seen the allegedly phonetic spelling in
novels purporting to reflect certain dialects.
