Raspberries

  • I have nothing better to do, so I am going to go on one of my rants again. It's about raspberries. As you could probably tell from the title of this... Why do we pronounce raspberries as "raz-ber-ries?" I mean, HELLO. There's a p in there. So why not say it as "rasp-ber-ries?" It's like northern people saying "cah" instead of "car." I would know...I live in New England. It just makes me mad. I feel like raspberries aren't getting the respect they need. Such an awesome fruit. I mean, can you think of any other English word--assuming the word is in fact English--that has a silent p? I've heard of a silent g, k, h, b, l, w, and more. But never of a silent p. Except maybe in psychotic...or psychiatrist...or pneumatic. Well you know what they say about assuming. I'm done here. --Deuces. Juice.
