You'd have to be a pretty mean native English speaker to judge people on how they pronounce silent letters

- dcminter 1y agoWho's judging? I'll save that for when my Swedish är lite mindre dålig! It's just a little strange that the "b" somehow transforms into a "p" when "b" is a perfectly common letter in Swedish. If they just pronounced the "b" I wouldn't have thought it at all notable.
- junon 1y agoQuite the contrary. I live in Germany, for the most part they're pretty thankful, just as I am when they correct my German.
