Er! No! I don't think so. If you're left with MPT it is pronounced EM PEE TEE. If you take away the first,third,and last,you are left with MT. Pronounced EM TEE !!!
I thought it was a postman!
That was too hard for me.

I disagree completely.
It only works if you pronounce some of the letters with sounds and some with their names. It should be either (something like) mm-puh-tuh or em-pee-tee. Those don't not make empty.
