Ok, here's a letters/language question.

One point for each letter of the Latin alphabet for which you can give me an English word where the given letter is silent. By 'silent' I mean that the pronunciation of the word would be the same with the letter removed (although that might mean the word was misspelled).

So by my rules, the E in "sine" isn't silent (despite what many are told), as sin is not pronounced the same as sine.

But the P in Psychic is silent. No points for any other P words.
