Though it is a French-derived word, pronouncing the "t" at the end of Tourniquet is not unusual. According to dictionary.com, in English, the final t is pronounced. (Just as the t in "often" isn't.)The Editrix 14:44, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

I have to disagree. English has the habit of taking words and not changing the pronunciation to confuse phonetic spellers. Everywhere I hear it it's pronounced Tourniquet (silent t). Plus this is what I hear in TV from across the UK. Unless the Americans has messed it up. Big Moira 22:19, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Speaking as an American, I've never heard either Tourniquet or Often pronounced with a silent last "t". However, I can easily understand the phonetic "Tourniqué"; ...but "Ofen"? -- Huntster ^{T • @ • C} 04:21, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] De-stubbed

This article appears to be of an appropriate length for the subject matter under discussion. It is also appropriately categorized and wikified.

By nature, stubbing and tagging articles devalues them, giving them an aura of unreliability. As part of my personal campaign to free up articles that have been stubbed and tagged without cause, this article has been disenstubified.

If any editor disagrees, and would rather re-stub it than improve it by adding actual content, please discuss here. The Editrix 14:44, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
