Silent Letters with Michael McIntyre

How the English language would sound if silent letters weren’t silent.

I came across this hilarious video of a popular comedian, Michael McIntyre, who talked about silent letters in the English language. I couldn't stop laughing when he started to pronounce all these words with silent letters 'correctly.' By the end, it started to sound German!

Anyway, have fun watching this. I've included all the words below.

• Hour

• Sandwich

• Half

• Subtle

• Knickers

• Knuckles

• Wednesday

• Autumn

• February

• Talking

• Walking

• Knife

• Buffet

• Salmon

• Swordfish

• Yoghurt

• Gnome

• Wrapped

• Scissors

• Wrapping

• Honestly

• Receipt

• Champagne

• Knock

• Chloe

• Isla

I support the idea of having a day called Silent Letter Day, where we gift each other Gnomes.
