I love it. The BBS is back to its old self: The most heated discussion currently is about the pronunciation of a letter in a word.

I'm not sure where to fall on this discussion. On the one hand, copious amounts of evidence has been presented against the pronunciation of the T.

But Bruno's point that it was only dropped in the 18th century makes me wonder: What's the T doing there in the first place? If it was pronounced when the word was first transcribed in that form, who's to say it's wrong?
