Tomb is not pronounced "toom" though. The B is actually there. Same with womb.
Luke Sanders
Depends on dialect I guess.
Lucas Wilson
Literally who the fuck pronounces it as toomb?
Levi Perez
Americans speak american, so he's right. English is a dialect that derived from it.
Charles Hall
>The B is actually there. Same with womb.
Wrong. No one would call it "the toom-buh of the unknown soldier". That's stupid. I think your english teacher just gave you some bad info.
Oliver Smith
Because bomb is a loan word (bomba)
Like most of the engl*Sh language
Mason Stewart

Don't poor/rural British whites say it like that, at least somewhere
Ethan Williams
Everyone I've ever heard say it.

No one does. It's 'toomb', not 'toom-buh', you mong.

So other Swedes? Or a native speaker
Leo Jones
It's pronounced toom lad.
Zachary Garcia

Get your hearing tested, mate.

I tripped only on 'Terpsichore'. English being complex is a meme. Spelling to pronunciation differences are because of different origins and original spellings. No language using Latin/Roman script has anything spelled phonetically except for Latin. I know, it's dumb, but there you go.
Julian Anderson
Written English sucks

Well obviously for you, but not for the majority probably.
Mason Price

ehm ehm
Nathan Turner
why the hell don't they write as they speak?
Hudson Hernandez
It's a silent /b/ in both words
Ryan Baker
Because *nglos are retarded and so they think spelling reforms are gommunist
Brayden Anderson
Lots of languages have a reasonably consistent mapping between orthography and speech even if they don't use Latin characters the same way as Latin itself. English is pretty bad in this regard.
Daniel Green
it's not silent it's just not voiced
Justin Garcia
It is. just check the IPA on any dictionary site
Wyatt Bennett
This long version is just dumb, the original has some form of rhyme/melody to it. This is just a spam of words in the middle.
Gavin James
Various reasons. Here's one of them:
>From the 16th century AD onward, English writers who were scholars of Greek and Latin literature tried to link English words to their Graeco-Latin counterparts. They did this by adding silent letters to make the real or imagined links more obvious. Thus det became debt (to link it to Latin debitum), dout became doubt (to link it to Latin dubitare), sissors became scissors and sithe became scythe (as they were wrongly thought to come from Latin scindere), iland became island (as it was wrongly thought to come from Latin insula), ake became ache (as it was wrongly thought to come from Greek akhos), and so forth.[7][8]
