    If the letter is there, then it shouldn't be silent otherwise, don't put it there.

    So it's HERB not ERB and it's OFTEN not OFEN. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
    I'd love to hear you reading a medical dictionary.

    Try "pneumothorax" and "amanibhavam."

    If you ever get a knife stuck in your knee, the ambulance dispatcher will think you're prank calling.

    That was going to be my response except that I pronounce words the "right" way instead of the "rig-t" way. Also "weig"

    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    This thread has me questioning every single word that comes out of my mouth.

    Now I'm...

    Aww man, smurf you all...

    Why is it when someone says 'trust me', I do the opposite?

    EDIT

    (some website) says this:

    Often was pronounced with a t -sound until the 17th century, when a pronunciation without the  [t] came to predominate in the speech of the educated, in both North America and Great Britain, and the earlier pronunciation fell into disfavor.
