  When your mom enunciates the Bruce, you know you’re in big trouble.

      Shorten it to “Than”, the “Na” is silent. I’d rather you pronounce the “Th” like “Thought” to say “Than” than “Than” like a typical “The” sound. When I was younger I had them call me “Thane”, that was “Than” with a nonexistent silent “E” that wasn’t on the end.

      Is that sentence even readable?

  It’s the name of the twin you absorbed in the womb.

  New guy at work’s legal name is Emilejustin, and goes by Justin. Effectively the Emile is silent.

    I used to work with a guy whose first name was Lordprince. His parents must have had high hopes for him.

      I’ve had classmates named after large numbers, like trillion and billion.

  I know only one sentence in gaelic: Tiocfaidh ár lá
  … the “faidh” is silent.

    I don’t know if this is exactly how it works in Irish Gaelic, but in Scottish Gaelic the reason there are so many silent letters is because of vowel combinations, broad and slender consonants and lenition

    The Scottish Gaelic equivalent of that phrase would be “Thig ar latha” i think, which funnily enough I don’t think contains any silent letters

  Imagine using a language that has consistent pronunciation and no concept of “silent” letters

  “It’s spelled Raymond Luxury-Yacht, but it’s pronounced ‘Throatwobbler Mangrove’.”

  source
• bebabalula@feddit.dk ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  So it’s just pronounced “nat-han” then?

  source
• BilSabab@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Now that’s a reasonable idea that won’t go out of hand!

  source
• phaedrus@piefed.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  My dumbass would make it parenthetical. “My name is Bruce, the nat-han is silent.”
