So, my friend & I were discussing about English words. How some English words gets pronounced with some silent letters. For example, Psychology, Debut, Paris etc.

He is of the opinion that since these letters are silent in pronounciation, the words should be spelt without them.

Psychology - Sychology

Debut - Debu

Paris - Pari

This I agreed...but it kinda looked odd, Lool.

So my questions here are,

Is there an explanation as to why these silent letters are present in these words to start with?

Why can't words be spelt as pronounced?

Seriously, I have no idea but I've observed it though.
But dearPreye has some points though.

Yet, you romance it almost better than...... lipsrsealed

That's hypocrisy!!!!! grin

I ported you guys to the grammar diary, I figured others could learn.

dearpreye:
Mizmycoli, your undiluted attention is needed here. Fast.

Well, some of those words have their routes in languages whose alphabets are totally different from that of the English Language and efforts must be made to have them pronounced with their native language in mind.

For instance, J in English is Y in Dutch while LL is pronounced as Y in Spanish!

Villa is pronounced Viya in Spanish;

Arjen is pronounced Aryen in Dutch.....

That's the little I know! It has to do with the original native language of the root word. I hate English language shaa

David Villa( pronounced Viya)

Arjen Robben( Aryen)

Ajax( Ayax)

Sevilla( Seviya)

Please don't ask francizy as he hates vocabulary.. 100s of thousands of English words out there and more keeps popping out. Most annoying part is that many words mean the same thing and I ask, why can't the best/simplest/most popular words be adopted with their synonyms debunked!?

Lmao!

So everyone hates English eh? This is new, Lool

@your question, because English Language is an art - its meant to be interesting and not be a bore.

These synonyms makes it beautiful
