Do you know why ‘k’ is still there in front of words like knee, knife, etc.? 🤔 #collinsdictionary

Have you ever wondered why? 🤔 In words like ‘knife,’ ‘knee,’ and ‘know,’ the ‘k’ is silent due to historical pronunciation. In Old English, both the ‘k’ and ‘n’ were pronounced, but over time the ‘k’ sound was dropped while the spelling remained! #CollinsDictionary #Language #Words #K
