I be an American.. but I no pronounce the "B" in plummmmmmer. Now... down south its mystifying how things get pronounced.......

Sorry, I am in between projects here, and are having one of those rare breaks today where I think about everything 'cept PICs and electronics. I've got a bet going about the word plumber. Dictionary says the "b" is not pronounced. My argument is that, since Americans pronounce everything the way they see it, they do pronounce the "b", even if it is a soft one, it is still pronounced. Comments? My English friends can also make their comments here. Got a couple of beers riding on this one. Quentin -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
