Silent Letters
Silent letters make me want to rip my hair out and plunge my eyes into a bucket of acid. It’s really only the unnecessary ones that are detrimental to my health. It's stupid, but my biggest pet peeve are those ludicrous silent letters. Best example: pterodactyl. Why is that p there? Who decided that it needed a p? As far as I know, it does nothing. If letters were people, that p would be your friends' friends' cousins' daughters' pet fish. Useless to you and everyone involved. I sob at night trying to discover the profound meaning of silent letters. To which I can never find the answer. After a trek through the depths of my psyche, all that remains is emotional turmoil. It’s like trying to wrap your head around the idea of infinite space. It keeps you up at night.
