I switch back and forth with no rhyme or reason.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

I feel like I am a silent t on all of them - but now I'm not sure if that's right or just because I'm thinking how I pronounce them.
