Who's idea was it, to put the silent <br />letters in words? It makes no sense, <br />to me. When the word is said, you <br />hear it, phonetically. Why do we <br />need the k in knee? If you leave the <br />k out, doesn't it still sound, like it's <br />supposed to be? How about the <br />word plumber? What is the b, <br />supposed to be there for? As far <br />as I'm concerned, the b, shouldn't <br />be in there anymore. Putting all <br />these extra letters in words, is <br />utterly confusing. For those trying <br />to learn the english language, it's <br />anything, but amuzing. Everything <br />should be kept simple, so it's <br />easier to pronounce and easy to <br />spell. If they would have left it alone, <br />without using those extra letters, <br />we all would have done, very well!<br /><br />Audrey Heller<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/silent-letters-2/
