Cool! I actually never thought of Pacific Ocean this way haha. What do you happen to know about the silent c?
reply
I wasn't sure what that is, so I did a quick search:
Silent C: The letter C is silent when it is in the letter combination of SC. Examples: scissors, ascent, fascinate, muscle.
The letter C is also silent before the letters K and Q. Examples: block, puck, lock, acknowledge, aqua, acquit, acquiesce.
It doesn't help much to point out that those are all loan words, since 90% of English is loan words.

You know what? I should have checked it myself, but I’m the kind who likes to learn incidentally from other people haha. Thanks for checking it out for me! Much appreciated

As you're no doubt aware, every c in "Pacific Ocean" is pronounced differently.
