    Interesting... I've noticed that people from that part of the planet seem to have no idea how to pronounce half the letters in their alphabet, yet claim there is some logical basis behind it.  I think they just forgot. devil  Either that, or they got some letters in a bargain basement and just toss them into their words at random.  But in some cases there must have been a shortage on vowels. surprise 

    I've never understood silent letters... Why have them if you don't pronounce them... Was it that once upon a time there was a Letter Union that stipulated that X number of letters had to be employed in certain words even if they were doing nothing...or you couldn't speak or write them?

    It not like we have silent numbers?

    But it could be a great excuse for bad math... "Oh, yeah... My numbers look off, but there were a lot of silent 7s and 9s, so once you factor those in you'll see it's all in order." 

    I suspect a lot of Mega Corporations have been employing silent numbers in their accounting practices lately.

    Raise your hand if you pronounce the "l" in "salmon".

    The Russian alphabet has two silent letters built right into the alphabet.  Convenient!

    Good day to stay inside keep track of college football (I miss talking sports with Ed) and work on projects.

    Today here was a "y'don't know" day.  Y'don't know if it's going to rain or shine, blow hard, get cold or spritz oobleck.  Looked different everytime I looked out the window.  (the oobleck was the weirdest!) surprise

    Because the butterflies taste terrible... the wings are very dusty and the legs get stuck in your teeth and the bug itself is pasty and tastes like lemon pledge and floor wax.

    Look at it this way -- once upon a time they did pronounce all those letters.  In Scots Gaelic they've dropped most of those silent letters, but in Irish Gaelic they've kept them.  So when you think a language is hard to pronounce, just remember that it used to be much worse.

    ...there are imaginary numbers though.

    Imaginary numbers are an unfortunate naming tragedy.  But are a good example of the limitations of common sense applied to the real world.  So called "Imaginary" numbers are just as real as other numbers but our notation system (based on pulling rocks from a bag to count sheep) wasn't designed to represent them until we took a good look at our system of numbers and saw them (the imaginary numbers, not the sheep) peeking out at us all the time.  So, we're stuck with using "i" when trying to represent the square root of -1.

    Actually, imaginary numbers are incredibly useful in the modern world, and solve an amazing array of problems.

    And the square root of -13 is equal to the sqrt ((-1)(13)) and equals (sqrt(-1)) (sqrt(13)) and equals (i)(sqrt(13))  = i3.6055512.... See, easy as π ! smiley
