would pancake got a silent e?

Here's why:

* Spelling: The word "pancake" is already spelled correctly. Adding an "e" would change the pronunciation and spelling.

* Sound: The final "e" in words like "cake" and "make" is silent and serves to lengthen the vowel sound. In "pancake," the "a" is already a long vowel sound, so a silent "e" is unnecessary.

Let me know if you have any other spelling questions!
