I've made several friends along my way.
Some of them I've changed.
I like to think I help them find their voice.




These friends are represented by the first letter of their names.




Sally, for instance, had an insulting serpent's tongue.
With my help, she became calming.




As for S (Sally), its sound sounds like something that comes from a snake ("Ssssss!"). But when combined with h you get Sh, which is often said to quiet and calm people down ("Shhhh!").




William resisted change. However, in some cases,
I was able to influence whomever was near us.




Wh is often pronounced the same as W (as in "Wail" and "Whale"). But some people do pronounce Wh with an aspiration where some people do not (such as "Cool Whip" and "Cool Whip"), sometimes heard in the word "whomever."




Timothy and I got along quite famously indeed.
When we befriended the popular kid, they wrote an article about it.




Th is a common digraph in English, especially since it's in the word "The," which is a popular (grammatical) article.




Caroline and I are also a power couple.
Trains and even some places of worship have echoed our work.




Ch begins "Choo Choo" (and, audibly, "Trains") as well as "Church."




I tried to make friends with Kevin,
but I may as well have just left him alone.




Kh does appear in some words (such as "khaki"), but in most of those cases the addition of h appears to have no effect on pronunciation.




Paul is consistently useful.
When we go places plus one, we can talk to anybody.




Ph is often seen in the English language. I'm not sure about "when we go places plus one," however. As for "we can talk to anybody," that can be due to "phonics," or maybe even "phones"? (I'm still not sure how that relates to "places plus one," though.)




Gabby, it seems, has a mind of her own.
It's tough to predict what we'll end up doing together!




Gh is found in words such as "Ghost," "Ghetto," and "Spaghetti," many of which are of Italian origin. In Italian, the letter H is inserted between the letters G and E & I to make G revert back to the sound it makes with "girl," "get," and "go." Otherwise, G would sound like the sound it makes with "giant" and "ginger."




Surely there are cases in which I am unneeded.




In some words, H has no audible effect, as in "Honest" and "Honor."




I just hope I'm helping them all say what they mean.
Because all alone, I'm just a whisper.




Without being combined to a consonant, the H is often aspirated, as in "Hotel" and "Abraham." This aspiration sounds like a "whisper."

    I try to compose my answers to puzzles before looking at any of the other answers, so I can truthfully claim that my answer wasn't influenced (or tainted) by looking at other answers.

  • $begingroup$
    Composing your answer before looking at anyone else's is a fine thing to do. But having done that you should then check the others before posting, and sometimes you'll get unlucky and it'll turn out you've duplicated someone else's work. In that case you should, at a minimum, say something like "Most of this turns out to be the same as in X's answer but I'm posting it anyway because I have something new to say in this bit, that bit, and the other bit.".

  • $begingroup$
    Possible exception to the check-before-posting rule: if people are posting partial answers to a puzzle with many separate bits (e.g., a crossword) then you might reasonably choose to take part in that and not look at other answers. Before claiming something is a complete answer, though, I think you need to check what else has already been said.

As for S (Sally), its sound sounds like something that comes from a snake ("Ssssss!"). But when combined with h you get Sh, which is often said to quiet and calm people down ("Shhhh!").




William resisted change. However, in some cases,
I was able to influence whomever was near us.




Wh is often pronounced the same as W (as in "Wail" and "Whale"). But some people do pronounce Wh with an aspiration where some people do not (such as "Cool Whip" and "Cool Whip"), sometimes heard in the word "whomever."




Timothy and I got along quite famously indeed.
When we befriended the popular kid, they wrote an article about it.




Th is a common digraph in English, especially since it's in the word "The," which is a popular (grammatical) article.




Caroline and I are also a power couple.
Trains and even some places of worship have echoed our work.




Ch begins "Choo Choo" (and, audibly, "Trains") as well as "Church."




I tried to make friends with Kevin,
but I may as well have just left him alone.




Kh does appear in some words (such as "khaki"), but in most of those cases the addition of h appears to have no effect on pronunciation.




Paul is consistently useful.
When we go places plus one, we can talk to anybody.




Ph is often seen in the English language. I'm not sure about "when we go places plus one," however. As for "we can talk to anybody," that can be due to "phonics," or maybe even "phones"? (I'm still not sure how that relates to "places plus one," though.)




Gabby, it seems, has a mind of her own.
It's tough to predict what we'll end up doing together!




Gh is found in words such as "Ghost," "Ghetto," and "Spaghetti," many of which are of Italian origin. In Italian, the letter H is inserted between the letters G and E & I to make G revert back to the sound it makes with "girl," "get," and "go." Otherwise, G would sound like the sound it makes with "giant" and "ginger."




Surely there are cases in which I am unneeded.




In some words, H has no audible effect, as in "Honest" and "Honor."




I just hope I'm helping them all say what they mean.
Because all alone, I'm just a whisper.




Without being combined to a consonant, the H is often aspirated, as in "Hotel" and "Abraham." This aspiration sounds like a "whisper."

    This is basically the same as my answer. You should always look at existing answers before providing one of your own, to ensure you are not just adding a duplicate.

    I try to compose my answers to puzzles before looking at any of the other answers, so I can truthfully claim that my answer wasn't influenced (or tainted) by looking at other answers. Besides, I felt there were some other things I added that are worth considering. Thanks for your concern, though!

    Composing your answer before looking at anyone else's is a fine thing to do. But having done that you should then check the others before posting, and sometimes you'll get unlucky and it'll turn out you've duplicated someone else's work. In that case you should, at a minimum, say something like "Most of this turns out to be the same as in X's answer but I'm posting it anyway because I have something new to say in this bit, that bit, and the other bit.".

    Possible exception to the check-before-posting rule: if people are posting partial answers to a puzzle with many separate bits (e.g., a crossword) then you might reasonably choose to take part in that and not look at other answers. Before claiming something is a complete answer, though, I think you need to check what else has already been said.
