The Glottal Stop

[yousrati]

Hello,
Please I need your help concerning the Glottal Stop: according to my understanding it is pronounced in such cases:
/t/ before /b/ - Don’t be
/t/ before /p/ - - Correctt p
/t/ before /k/- or before /g/ for instance:
- Don’t know , Don’t go
So is this correct or wrong? And would you please give me some other examples?

We don't pronounce a glottal stop. The point is that in all your examples the t is not pronounced, except on rare occasions when precise enunciation is considered necessary. . .usually for emphasis:

'I keep telling you - I. . .don't. . .know!'

We don't pronounce a glottal stop.

What do we do with it?

What do we do with it?

Un-pronounce? Anti-pronounce? Some must mispronounce it, I'm sure.

It seems to me that a glottal stop is a phoneme like any other. How does it differ from an alveolar stop (t, d) or a bilabial stop (p, b), for example - except that it's made at the glottis?
Do you object to "I can't pronounce a /t/ properly?"
