@stupidlittlegenius: Why is the River Thames spelled with a TH but pronounced Temz? Because English has been fighting a 500‑year Greek H that doesn’t belong. From Celtic muddy roots to Roman Latin to Renaissance scholars who thought everything looked better with a Greek H, this river has been through a lot. But English refuses to say “Themes”, and Londoners cheer it on, because honestly that H sticks out worse than a giant rubber duck floating past Tower Bridge. History, chaos, linguistics, spelling drama, all in one river! #creatorsearchinsights #riverthames #thames #etymology #funfacts

Celts: “muddy water” Romans: “muddyeis wateris” Renaissance scholars: “mhuddy whatter”

Why is it that some words have “in” as a prefix, such as a (neg/pos ways) such as incredible and credible, to others have un (neg/pos example uncomfortable/comfortable, but in the case of intelligent it has both?
