Quote:the e makes the I "say its name" lol, ai doesnt really make the I sound that I know of. ntm, there are plenty of words with a silent e at the end. Silent letters are not the problem, its putting sounds in where there is no letter representing them.Quote:I suppose eventually "knife" will be "nife"...
or 'naif'
Unless you guys actually say 'nifeh' :lol:.
Quote:I have never said toriLLa, its tort-EE-a. Reminds me of people who pronounce gyros "Jy-rows" instead of "your-o's" :roll:Quote: It's also why people mispronounce "tortilla" as tor-"till"-a (with l sounds)
Thats more likely because they don't know that 'll' has the sound it has... I mean, its the same sound that you have in "you" (the y...)
