Oh. THAT'S how you pronounce that...

Today in writing, we veered off topic by discussing how English has a lot of silent letters or swallowed syllables.  E.g. February, interesting, everyone.

One student shared that his middle name had a silent letter.  He began to spell, J-A-C-Q-U-E-S.

juh-QWESS.

The "c" is silent.

The whole country of France is crying.
