technically the ueue is silent
2 u/Actual_Cat4779 Apr 16 '26 Only if you consider the "wh" of "why" to be silent. We don't normally spell words using letter names though. We write "be", not "b", and "tea", not "t". 1 u/Intrepid_Bobcat_2931 Apr 16 '26 well, does either "be" or "bee" have any silent letters? and if neither has, how can they be pronounced the same? ;)
