Why do you leave butter on the counter? To soften. T is not pronounced.

It’s the same with the word ‘often’.

GENERAL I ask you, have you ever known what it is to be an orphan?

KING. Often!

GENERAL. Yes, orphan. Have you ever known what it is to be one?

KING. I say, often.

ALL. [disgusted] Often, often, often.
[Turning away]

GENERAL. I don't think we quite understand one another. I ask you, have you ever known what it is to be an orphan, and you say "orphan". As I understand you, you are merely repeating the word "orphan" to show that you understand me.

KING. I didn't repeat the word often.

GENERAL. Pardon me, you did indeed.

KING. I only repeated it once.

GENERAL. True, but you repeated it.

KING. But not often.

GENERAL. Stop! I think I see where we are getting confused. When you said "orphan", did you mean "orphan",a person who has lost his parents, or "often", frequently?

KING. Ah! I beg pardon-- I see what you mean -- frequently.

GENERAL. Ah! you said "often", frequently.

KING. No, only once.

GENERAL. [irritated] Exactly-- you said "often", frequently, only once.
