How do you say distance?
Is the G in length silent?
So, the “g” is not actually pronounced as a “g,” but it is not a “silent” letter either. It is actually pronounced in words such as “anger” and “linger”—but the same sort of thing does not happen in “strength” and “length” because of the “th” sound that follows immediately after.
Is the D silent in width?
The ‘th’ in the preposition ‘with’ is voiced; the ‘th’ in width (forget the ‘d‘) is voiceless. Just pronounce ‘width‘ with a voiceless ‘th’ (forget the ‘d‘).
What does distance mean?
