No but maybe you can explain why other words that end have two
consonants next to each other get to have vowels between the consonants
Hi David,
No, I can't explain it - I'm sure there is a reason but I don' know it - for me it's just one of the joys of language. It gives us all things to argue about in quiet periods :-)
By gum, over here, as I'm sure is the case over there, we have arguments about how they pronounce words from one town to the next (and not just pronunciation - in one town a moggie is a cat, in another it's a mouse.)
The town where I work is spelt "Bury" - it's pronounced either "Burry" or Berry" depending on whether you live there or not.
And, of course there's the old favourite "Aluminium" :-)
Whilst I'm here - AOL is playing up again and many e-mails are not actually reaching me. If anyone has written recently and I haven't replied, please re-send - I probably never received your e-mail.
All the best,
Lawrence
