They might be silent when spoken but still offer disambiguation between words/meanings when written e.g. “dam” vs “damn”.
Ah, the famous tar.gz printing
A lot of paper is wasted because we tend to use standard “document sized” paper (A4, US Letter).
For content that is not designed to fill the page (poster or whatever) it will fill a random amount of the final page and on average half of that sheet will be wasted.
If smaller paper sizes were used more often it could save a fair bit.
Smaller paper sizes would waste a lot more paper because the margins would be a bigger portion of the sheet.
Not sure about silent letters specifically, but we could certainly compress our language to the smallest lossless format.
