When I was in class 7 I used to ask a lot of questions.
One Day I decided to ask one Mrs. Mulisa
this question.
ME: Well, in pronunciation we ignore
some letters eg letter 'H' in Hour, Honest,
Honor.. E.t.c, Why? Mrs. Mulisa: Not ignoring, they are
considered silent.
(I was even more confused)
(after class, the teacher asked me to heat
her packed lunch for her in the microwave
in the cafeteria. I ate all the food and returned an empty hotpot)
Mrs. Mulisa: What happened... I told you to
go and HEAT my food??
ME: Mmmmh Madam I thought 'H' was silent.
