Reminds me of joke. Someone is giving his name over the phone: " That's Kaplan. K as in knife, a as in aardvark, p as in pneumonia, l as in llama..."

They weren't always silent. For example in Middle English all the letters in the word [quote]knight[/quote] were pronounced it is thought and in some dialects letters are pronounced where they are not in Standard English/Received Pronunciation. I apologise that I don't know the American equivalent for these terms.

Nope.. see I am old.. and I was taught proper English.. and we were taught proper spellings.. lol and we think those who spell things wrong are lazy bar-stewards! So to encourage that level of laziness even more so.. well it's unthinkable.. it's just not cricket!
