Why don't we pronounce the second c in connecticut?

English
1 answer:
masha68 [24]4 years ago
7 0

The original name is from the Mohegan word "quinnitukqut" which means "at the long tidal river."

The name was transliterated sort of poorly (see: Nippon vs. Japan for another example... among thousands) by the English speaking folks of the time and it became Connecticut when spelled but the pronunciation was a little harder to fudge, it seems.

What figure of speech is used in these lines from William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet?
Ray Of Light [21]
I believe the correct answer is allusion.
Shakespeare is mentioning Aurora in these lines, and given that Aurora is not a character from Romeo and Juliet, but rather just a reference to something outside the play, the correct figure of speech has to be allusion.
There are no similes in this excerpt - a simile is a comparison using words such as like or as. Oxymoron is when you put together contradictory terms, and here we cannot see that. Puns are play on words, and even though Shakespeare is famous for his puns, they are more common in his comedies rather than tragedies.

Should teachers have guns in school? I dont know what kind of answer but please ideas?
Anton [14]
Hey again!

The answer is based on personal opinion. I don't think our teachers should be armed, but there are advantages and disadvantages.

Multiple pros and cons of teacher's being armed.

Two pros:
 - To protect their students and themselves during an active shooting
- They wouldn't be defenseless during a shooting 
Why shouldn't they? (Cons) - They might use the gun to discipline their students.
- A child could find and use the firearm.
- It's not the teacher's job to be a bodyguard for the students.
 - The students may feel unsafe around the teacher.

 I hope this helps.
