They can not speak up for themselves, but we agree that they exist....

How many letters of the alphabet can be silent begining, end or middle of a word...

Add a word to the list below - I am exluding double letters, Proper Nouns and of course any proper forereign words unless in normal use eg collage, but not hors d'oeuvres which we say with an accent anyway - nes pas?

I'll resurrect my contribution from an earlier post. http://brainden.com/forum/uploads/emoticons/default_wink.png' alt=';)'>

No doubt here, people: I'm not food savvy, could never be a gourmet.

Give me bread in my cupboard and steak on my plate! Sushi sets me on edge - it's fish bait!

Broil me two salmon instead.

Indict me, if you will, for a recent faux pas.

At the Indonesian restaurant I coughed up my rijstafel and sent a debris of rice to the floor.

Aye, and you know they run a tight ship there!

For all I've been through, I'd write me a column - but I'm not great with words, either.

I'm rescued often by mnemonic aids for Worcester, halfpenny, rendezvous and others.

But one task I've almost completed: I'll finish it now.

Question: Why is it so noisy at Wimbledon? Answer: you can't play there without raising a racquet!

Well, If I were Bristolian I wouldnt pronounce any consonants at the end of all my words...

ex fear is pronounced fea'a

and..the previous "O" doesnt work..Motion has a definite Oh in there.
