Is the G silent in agnostic?
In Greek, the “g” is pronounced in the word “agnosis”, so that makes me think that Thomas Henry Huxley, who created the word “agnostic” had knowledge of greek and just pronounced it with the “g” as it should be. The “g” is only not pronounced if not preceeded by a vowel.
