can anyone answer my question that I asked before?

Why do some people pronounce all Tav’s with the hard sound “t” and never use the “s” sound. As far as I remember Tav is pronounced /t/ when there is a Dagesh Kal in it and pronounced /s/ when there is not. It’s possible that I’m wrong but I think that there is no Dagesh in the Tav in the words kesuba, Shabbos, Mitzvosai (AKA Ketuba, Shabbat, Mitzvotai) just some words I came across recently. Anyone?
