Dear U2, I wanted to tell you how much I loved the song “Stuck in a Moment”. It describes exactly how I feel. I, too, feel like I am stuck in my life. I am twenty-two years old and I have been feeling numb since I finished high school and the army. I have no ambition and everybody is calling me dumb. But your song showed me that I can get myself together. This bad time will pass. Thank you, Tomer Plumb

Look at this fan letter:

Sometimes, when the letters “m” and “b” come together, the “b” is silent. For example, we saw in the letter the word “numb”. When you say that word, you don’t say the “b”. Let’s look at the letter again and find two more examples of words with the silent “b”.
