Then the Pis silent and we've all been saying it wrong this whole time.

Nah, englishers just lack the skill.
In greek, the p is loud in pterodactyl and psychology.
Saiki for psyche, psh, that's 1/6 letters read correctly. Or with greek letters, that's 0/4 (ψυχή).
It's a more subtle P sound though, blended into the next consonant. Omitting it is the lesser of two evils compared to saying "putterodactyl"
It's possible in cleptomaniac, empty and top tier without adding an extra vowel.
The piss is never silent. There is always the clattering sound.
If you are a penis owner and piss from the standing position, you can arc the stream just so down the smooth porcelain interior of the toilet bowl, letting the piss flow neatly into the water making nary a sound

I don't believe in silent letters!
