There are no silent letters - in-ter-net.

in ter net, none of the letters are silent. it is "in" "ter" (pronounced like fur but with a T at the beginning) "net" as in something that you can use to catch fish
Hope this helps, and if it doesn't, well then I tried.

All Ts are pronounced, you pronounce it like you read it..a rare thing in the English language!

Yep. Some people say it like the T is missing : innernet. Others use a softer sound, like indrrnet. Myself, I include the 't'.

with the "t". it's not inner-net. I don't like it at all when people say Inner-national for international, it sounds uneducated to me.
