Since when has this been a surprise? English is a weird language... Coor - Corps Sar-jent - Sergeant It's just there. What can we do? Start pronouncing things the way they're spelled? "Hey Co-lo-nel Connors. Pass me the k-nife." "Sure Ser-ge-ant Jones. Get me some of that li-co-rice"

the k in knife and knight used to be pronounced, as time went on they found it easier just to keep it silent.

I read that as "lick-o-the-Irish", at which point it just sounded like a bad porno
