Hi this is a random question about the letter E. Do you think that there are more words that have the eh sound or the E sound?
1 answer
Without actually counting, I believe the schwa sound -- as the e in "the" or the second e in "elevator" -- is probably the most common pronunciation. Also, remember all of the words that end in a silent e -- come, hope, fate.
