I can't remember the word for consonants going. The OED online does not make that distinction: 1. The action of dropping out or suppressing: a. a letter or syllable in pronunciation; b. a passage in a book or connecting links in discourse. Also, an instance of either of these. Also fig. Well there ya go, as is so often the case, the only time I'm wrong is when I think I was wrong but I was right all along!
