The last time that I heard it, the narrator was saying the word "Latin", as in Latin America. He instead said it as "Laddin", like the last syllables of "Aladdin". Previously, I heard someone talking about General Patton, and pronouncing his name as "Paddon".

The number of examples of this trend is small enough to be regional, rather than a national trend.In fact, I am not certain that the videos that I watched were not produced with the same narrator. If it was the same guy, then this might just be the result of a faulty education.
