Can anyonehelp ole rat with this problem that has been bugging me all day. In the word "scent" is it the s that is silent or the c?
-
Never could fiugure that out either so i just say em both ;D
-
I say the c is silent.
-
It's the C. Otherwise it would be pronounced skent. It's a silent c that would be like a k if not silent.
Glad you posted it in humor..... :-\
-
scent noun \ˈsent\
The C is silent.
-
It's just another way of defining the word in the complex english language
Sent ~ mailed a letter
Cent ~ a coin
Scent ~ combining the S and C to make a new word with different meaning.
It's said that the English and Chinese language are the two hardest to learn.

I have heard that about learning the English language. The English will tell you American are good butchers. I thought it would be humorous to point out the Scent situation.

He went from being the quiet shy house guest to the devil of the house. The shitzu hides from him and the other dane aint sure what to think. But we about have him house broke and I worked with him on sitting today and he caught on pretty quick. I'm thinking dang might have a smart one here. Then took him to post office where he ran into a window at a trot only to back up and do it a 2nd time before I opened the door. So jury is back out on the smarts. ;D

.......... :D

If mice is plural for mouse, why isn't hice plural for house?
-
MICE??? I always thought it was meeses. Tom said it was. :yes:

If you don't think English is hard, just remember that read and lead rhyme, and lead and read rhyme, but lead and read don't rhyme, nor do lead or read.

My brain hurts! ???
