How much can we remember?

(Monday, April 26, 2010)

This article, "Maxed out: How much can we remember?" by David Robson describes exactly how many digits of pi humans would be able to remember if we weren't so... you know... lazy.

Personally, my record for digits of pi is 621 digits. The numbers in this article make that sound like child's play.

The T in Often

(Wednesday, April 21, 2010)

It is becoming more common to pronounce the letter "T" in the word often. I must say this is a huge pet peeve of mine.

The stem word for often is "oft" --in which the t is pronounced. But when the ending "en" is added, the t sound is lost (though it remains in the spelling). There are, in fact, MANY examples of this sort of shift in English and in every other case the t becomes silent when followed by an -en or -le.
For example, soft (pronounced) vs. soften (silent).
More examples:

  • list -> listen;
  • glisten;
  • fast [as in 'held fast/secure'] -> fasten;
  • haste -> hasten;
  • moist > moisten;
  • chaste -> chasten;
  • nest -> nestle;
  • castle; mistletoe; whistle;
  • wrest -> wrestle;
  • trestle; gristle; thistle;
  • Christ -> Christmas

Unfortunately, so many people started to pronounce the "t" that many regard is as an acceptable alternative, in certain dialects. That's the way language goes, I suppose, if enough people make the same mistake for long enough that it is no longer a mistake!
I hope this proves my point. If you found this interesting, here's a couple links that might interest you:
