    They sell melatonin at the rx. I wonder if they sell serotonin as well.

    Either/or? Well the spelling does distinguish it from its homonyms.

    I saw the word on the back of an LP this morning, describing the composer, and when I looked it up I just knew the forum would be a better place if I shared with yins.

    @Rdp77 it's the C that's silent.

    Silent C: The letter C is silent when it is in the letter combination of SC. Examples: scissors, ascent, fascinate, muscle.

    The letter C is also silent before the letters K and Q. Examples: block, puck, lock, acknowledge, aqua, acquit, acquiesce.

    I don’t think @ShawnOL he meant grammatical but rather acronymical. And I agree. All Cs are mouthy, “never silent”.
