+title: The T in Often
+slug: the-t-in-often
+description: Don't pronounce it!
+tags: []

+
+It is 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 secure'] -> fasten
+* haste -> hasten
+* moist -> moisten
+* nest -> nestle
+* castle; mistletoe; whistle; trestle; gristle; thistle
+
+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!

+title: The Wrist Keyboard

+description: Someone made a wearable keyboard!

+This looks fun, yes? It's a keyboard for your wrist. It wraps around your arm and has a standard QWERTY keyboard. It comes in green and blue and black and "smokey," and has glow-in-the-dark letters! It is built for harsh rain and weather conditions. Why you would be out in the rain with a keyboard around your wrist, I don't know. Oh wait, I just read the site again and it isn't rated yet for complete submersion in water. Darn.
