Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

Yep. It's due to how the endings are pronounced. If the ending after s (or t or r) is silent, the vowel sound in the stem sounds like ay as you put it, but if it's pronounced then the vowel sound in the stem is pronounced uh.

By the way, the -es in faites is silent altogether unless there's a liaison.
