That falls apart when you have all the words like bit and bite, made and mad, same and sam.

I disagree. If the letter your adding is E, it will change the promounciation of the vowel. That's the function of the E. Adding a consonant like t doesn't change the vowel sound (eg. How you would pronounce something like "sif" vs "sift" - no change in the vowel.

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
