Yea i just thought it was funny that the silent letter is the one you dragged out, lol
pppppppppppsychedelic
Now that you say it, I often see people write "hereeeeee" or "lameeeee" to make the vowel sound longer, which never made sense to me. Maybe they repeat the last letter, even if it's silent, because it doesn't interrupt the flow of their writing as much as extra letters in the middle of a word?
