Yes that's correct ^^

What English word can have 4 of its 5 letters taken away and still retain its original pronunciation?

**[NWA]GrannyG** Thu Jun 30, 2011 6:00 pm

"Aight?" xd

It walks on 4 legs as a baby (crawls), 2 in the afternoon as an adult, and 3 in the evening as an elder (2 legs and a cane)

Since when a human can age like that in one day

Its a metaphore...

**[NWA]GrannyG** Fri Jul 01, 2011 12:56 am

Sounds like a stupid metaphore.

**[NWA]Adam0795** Fri Jul 01, 2011 3:18 am

It's a metaphor like any other lol

And no, it's not "Aight"

Hmm... actually, how do you even pronounce that? I never really heard anyone say it... isn't it like "ait" sort of sound? or is it more like "I"

**[NWA]GrannyG** Fri Jul 01, 2011 6:27 am

Looks like i was right,that's how Ali G pronounces it atleast.

**[NWA]Adam0795** Fri Jul 01, 2011 6:51 am

Well... he also says integoration xD

But I guess it will do xD

**[NWA]GrannyG** Fri Jul 01, 2011 7:07 am

What was the word supposed to be?

**[NWA]Adam0795** Fri Jul 01, 2011 7:28 am

Well, any word that meets the criteria, I guess xD
Another example could be "Queue" which is pronounced "Q"

Also, I found an alternative answer just a minute ago which I think is pretty funny Razz

Mailbox Regardless of how many "letters" you take away, it's still pronouced MAILBOX.

I dont get it....

**[NWA]Adam0795** Fri Jul 01, 2011 12:04 pm

What don't you get?

"Queue" is pronounced "Q" so it's pronounced the same way with all 5 letters (Queue) and without the last 4 (Q)

**[NWA]GrannyG** Fri Jul 01, 2011 12:58 pm

Somehow i'm pretty sure he was talking about the mailbox word.

**[NWA]Adam0795** Fri Jul 01, 2011 10:43 pm

Nah, both are valid answers.

**IceCube113** Sat Jul 02, 2011 4:12 am

Letters

You take away letters from the mailbox and it's still pronounced "MAILBOX"

**[NWA]GrannyG** Sat Jul 02, 2011 7:32 am

That's one nice word play..ok new riddle:

For some I go fast
for others I'm slow.
To most people, I'm an obsession
relying on me is a well practiced lesson

**[NWA]Adam0795** Sat Jul 02, 2011 7:52 am

Lmao, I just noticed... those letters... argh... anyway.... ><

I'm sure I heard that riddle somewhere...

I'm not sure if this is really a riddle, but here it goes:

"You're in a room with two doorways, A and B, each guarded by a guard. One of the rooms leads to fame, fortune, and happiness. The other one leads to a torturous death. You do not know which door is which. You are allowed to ask one of the guards one question. The catch is, one of the guards always tells the truth and the other one always lies, but you don't know who is who."

"There is no single question you can ask that will enable you to logically determine which door leads to fame, fortune, and happiness."

a) True
b) False

I think it's true, but I need to think a bit more, what about you guys?
