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

1 answer:

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.

How and when does imagination overcome reason?

bonufazy [111]

There are several situations in which imagination can overcome reason.
One of the most common ones are when you're paranoid or you are fearful of something. In this case, your imagination starts creating the worst possible scenarios that can ever occur. However, when going through the situation itself, you will actually find that it is less terrifying than what you imagined and that your were just trapped in your imagination.

2) Examine each of the following topics. Determine if the topic is too broad, too narrow, or appropriate for the research essay.

fenix001 [56]

The history of manned space flight: The topic is appropriate for research because it is specific and will find almost the same information in every source you consult.
Breeds of dogs in the Westminster Dog Show: The topic is too narrow which might make the research a little empty (with not too much information).
The history of domestic animals (house pets): The topic is too broad and the research might not be focused but too general.
The results of Project Genome: The topic is appropriate for research because it is relevant and specific
The formation of cumulonimbus clouds: The topic is too narrow and might make the research empty/flat and lacking in relevance
The results of the Battle of Gettysburg: The topic is appropriate for research because it is historically relevant.

EXTRA INFO:

When you start developing a specific topic, the main problem you may face is having a topic that is too narrow or too broad.

Your topic is too narrow when you find very little information about it

Your topic is too broad when you find too many sources or too much information that it might not even be focused but too general.

And when your topic is appropriate it is when you find the important and needed information or you could also narrow a topic that is too broad.

Hope this answer helps you! Have a great day.
