Dark_Arbron 03/13/24 7:43:58 AM #78:	Glob posted... I dont read that as having a silent letter. This might just be an Australian thing but there are some words we "skip" certain syllables or sounds in when speaking. "Often" as "offen" is a common one, and we tend to pronounce the 't' at the end of contractions like won't/don't silently - not quite "wone" but not far off it. However, if it's the last word in the sentence, we pronounce the 't'. I know I worded that very poorly but hopefully you get what I mean. More egregiously we're cheeky enough to say "forehead" as "forrid." Another word I see pronounced two different ways is appreciate. Us commoners usually say "app-ree-shee-ate," while I often hear English teachers pronounce it "app-ree-see-ate," usually speaking a little slower. --- "How is that a religious topic?

In Australia we often drop the 't' at the end of contractions like won't/don't/can't but otherwise pronounce the word as normal. It's only when it's the end of a sentence that we're inclined to say it in full. Also, to the confusion of a German acquaintance of mine, we pronounce "favor" as "fayva," like we're half-assing the second syllable. Whereas I assume in Europe it's pronounced "fay-vore."
