Where I work it's generally referred to a "you know that pilot webpage thingy, I haven't been on there for years", to which I reply "yeh right"...

Prune - as in wrinkled plum or what you do to roses after the blooms begin to wilt.

What - 'Frune' ??

Correct pronounciation gouds, but I think you'll find, it's the second 'p' that's silent.

I stand corrected Hobo, however, how is one able to tell which 'p' has been spoken and which one is silent?

Listen carefully, old man. The second 'p' is silent but is a modifier to the first one, otherwise it would be PPRouNced. As in:-There once was a bloke that said PPRuNe But he counted his blessings too soon For the fat grocer's wife Came and gave him some strife And hit him on the head, with her spoon.

Aah - that reminds me of someone I used to work alongside - Rick, with a silent 'P'
