Dear friends,
One of my friend asked me a about pronunciation of the words - Servant & Surgeon. He asked if both the words have different spelling then why do we pronounce them in a similar way.
Let me be more clear.
The first words starts with "sur" in surgeon and the second word start with "ser" in servant. So, where there is a difference in their spelling, then why there is no difference in their initial pronunciation.
Please suggest!
Regards,
Ravish
