It just struck me - Felwithe isn't Fel/wi/thee?
no way Felwithe is Fel-with dont forget that in english if theres an E at the end of a word it is almost NEVER pronounced EE...lol thats my biggest pet peeve of of all in pronunciation.
do you say Bye, Byeeee? or Tomatoe, Tomatoeeeeeeeeee i hope not =P
That is for words with a vowel before the silent E, and that makes it a long vowel. Its the difference between "Made" and "Mad".
If the E on the end of Felwithe is infact silent, then the proper way to pronounce it is "fel - why - th", not "fel - wi - th".
As for the words Bye and Toe, again you need to recognize that that E is making the previous vowel sound different.
It cant be pronounced "with" if it has an E on the end. Its either "why - th" or "wi - thee".
The E in "bye" does nothing to the pronounciation of the actual word. How do you pronounce the word "by" and the word "bye" ? The same, correct?
