WHAT IS LOVE?

[atomtengeralattjaro]

Half the letters in French words are silent.

is that, like, figurative half, mathematical half, philosophical half (which half?), or some other kind of half?

also, what if a french word has an odd number of letters in it, does that mean one of the letters will be half-silent? if so, which kind of half is that?

The prosecution rests.
