Tom talked about his thumb. It seems he had pulled a muscle. In this strange sentence, the L in "talked", B in "thumb" and C in "muscle" are not pronounced. There are many silent letters in English. This silent letters list provides a guide to some of the most common silent letters in English.

Hey, Kenneth!
Well , I ran into your site because There’s a Guy here in Brazil, Mr.Carlos Mauricio Prado, who is supposed to merchandise the tips you gave about mind mapping and Brain Gym.He gives speech around Brazil and selling books as well with the ideas you say on your site.So I told him if those ideas wouldn’t be NLP.He said not.Please, access his site”Ginasticacerebral.com”You find things he sells ideas which doesn’t belong to him.
