The invisible ones are the ones that whisper in your ear during an exam and tell u the wrong answers. Blame the invisible letters!

Right... the letter is pronounced queue but when it's used in a word without the u it is pronounced as a (cu)p! Get it. The only reason the letter Q is pronounced Queue is because of the u in Queue!

Doesn't our language rule?
Hmm... Is this up to you to decide? And what does it matter? I have used five silent letters in this post.

Silent letters don't bother me. It's the invisible ones on here that bother me...
Silent letters used to be pronounced as they came from ncient languages, such as knock used to be pronouned 'ku-nok'. However this fizziled out, so just the pronouncition nok is now used.

I think there are silent letters because they help to seperate the same sounding word into 3 or 4 uses
All this stuff was decided over 200 years ago
I think that's why the Americans spell differently, other than them just being stupid I mean ;)
When the settlers went over, we spelt colour - "color" and all the other weird mistakes they make. They stuck with them while we changed ours slightly
I don't see the English language changing too much in the near future, except for American pressure to have programme changed to their version - "program"
But getting rid of silent letters - don't see it happening
