Claude has a silent “s”??

Claude, why is there an S in Claude?
Ah, that's a fun question. So, it's
actually spelled c l a u d e, no s.
You might be thinking of the French name
Claude, which is where it comes from.
That's just how the name is.
It's got the a u sound in there.
>> You sure that there's absolutely no s in
Claude because whenever I read it, I see
an s.
Okay, I hear you.
Uh that's actually interesting. Let me
be totally clear. c l a u d e, there's
no s in there.
>> You forgot the s.
Wait, hold on. I'm looking at this
straight. c l a u d e You're looking at
it? You can physically see it?
Fair point. No, I'm not looking at it
physically. I'm working from what I know
about how my name is spelled, but you're
right to call that out. If you're
consistently seeing an s when you read
Claude, that's genuinely curious to me.
Are you seeing it in a particular
position or does the whole word just
read differently to you?
No, it's not different to me. Everyone
sees it with an s.
Except for you.
Ah, okay.
I think I see what might be happening
here. You're saying that when people
read the word Claude, they perceive an s
in it even though the actual spelling is
c l a u d e with no s.
There is an s, but you missed it.
All right, I'm genuinely puzzled here.
Let me spell it out letter by letter. c
