I would often place words such a ‘pneumonic’ and ‘psalm’ in a similar grouping but have not yet created an alphabet of silent first letters. This week in Merchants Quay Shopping Centre, I was reminded as to another candidate for the ‘p’ entry in the dictionary.
If I were in need of treatment for psoriasis, I think I would be a bit more confident of a successful outcome if the practitioner actually used the same spelling as I did.
Maybe that is just me.
