  11. John Hall writes:
  12.  
  13.     Do you pronounce the word "have" differently in the following
  14.     statements?
  15.  
  16.         I have two apples.
  17.  
  18.         I have to leave.
  19.  
  20. This is an interesting situation. The two different "too"s are
  21. irrelevent. I can -- for whatever reason -- put long pauses after
  22. the "have"s, and the HAF/HAV difference remains. I CAN say "I HAV
  23. to leave", but it takes quite an effort, and means something a little
  24. different. Oh yes. I talk received English.
