The H Is Shilent
Silent H, a description of its use and role in history:
A silent h can be put anywhere you want, precisely because it is silent. So for example, it is equally proper to spell it Gandih, Gahndi, hGandi and even Gandhhhhhhhi.
The silent h is very flexible. When I’m talking, I’ll toss in a silent h every third syllable, and no one seems to mind. I’m not trying to show off by doing it. I just like the way it doesn’t sound.
Little known fact: The original name for the stealth bomber was Hhhhhhh, where every h but the fourth one is silent.

What about the silent P? and for that matter, what about the silent Q?
Heeeyyyyy HEY! Pender…. watch your P’s and Q’s.
My silent P’s and Q’s are tucked safely away in my belly… cause I’m drunk at work again.
