Thank you to the student question about whether or not the "th" is voiced or voiceless in the word with. In isolation, the "th" in the word with can be voiceless, esp. in North American English and some UK varieties such as Scottish English, but can also be voiced, predominantly by RP speakers in the UK (an interesting discussion can be found here in the comments section, as it appears that there is quite a bit of phonetic variation: http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=4255 ) The "th" subsequently can also manifest as voiceless or voiced in clauses such as "I went with her to the movies" or "coffee with milk", according to one's variety. Even speakers who would otherwise pronounce the word with a voiceless "th" in isolation might voice it in the context of a clause, as it is anticipating the voiced phones that proceed it. Consider the word without in which the "th" is either voiced or voiceless (as both pronunciations exist in standard varieties of English).
