Thank you so much! It’s been a lot harder than I thought it would be to do this, but it’s totally worth it!
Yeah.!! in the end if its worth it then everything else to achieve it seems okay
I wonder why N is so often tucked away behind another silent (and therefore useless) letter in words like Knight or Pneumonia? Alphabetical window dressing?
I wondered about that too! I think it’s an old pronunciation that fell off. I’ll have to see if I can find a better answer though!
