00I don't think we talk about 'voiceless word' but rather 'voiceless sounds', and it does seem a pretty stupid thing to say. How can you speak without a voice? 02br

0 Sorry, forgot about Burned & burnt. 02br

00It's Burn'D because there is a 'd' at the end of the word. 02br
00BurnT finishes with a 't'. 02br

00They both mean the same thing, and it's because of the historical complexities of English. 0-

02br

00Casi is quite right, of course, and it is generally taught that wy. I just have a problem because I usually pronounce "burnD" and "burnT" simply because of the area of UK I live in! this is very similar to "dreamed" "dreamt", but her there are ****. with the 'd' and 't'. Where I come from we say "tret" as the past tense of "treat",
