Why lock a serious thread?

Why did my other thread get locked?

I am trying to proved serious answers to questions that people might have.

Such as

"Why do foreign names have silent letters in them if they're spelled phonetically?"

(Btw, the answer can by found in the Crazy English: The Ultimate Joy Ride Through Our Language
by Richard Lederer )



Your thread was no more original than the others that have done this time and again.

I am guessing this has been done over and over again. Basically creating a thread like this is defeating the purpose of an off topic forum.

Answer: If they're spelled "phonetically", then they don't have silent letters.
