SIMPLY STARTLING

There is a common nine letter word in the English language that if you do it properly, every time you remove one letter, you still have a common English word.  That word is --

STARTLING

remove the L and get

STARTING

remove the second T and get

STARING

remove the A and get

STRING

remove the R and get

STING

remove the remaining T and get

SING

remove the G and get

SIN

remove the S and get

IN

and finally, remove the N and get

I

That is rather startling, isn’t it!
