Linking Consonant to Vowel When a word ends in a consonant sound, we often move the consonant sound to the beginning of the next word if it starts with a vowel sound. For example, in the phrase "turn off": We write it like this: turn off We say it like this: tur noff Remember that it's the sound that matters. In the next example, "have" ends with: the letter "e" (vowel) the sound "v" (consonant) So we link "have" to the next word "a" which begins with a vowel sound: We write it like this: Can I have a bit of egg? We say it like this: Ca-nI-ha-va-bi-to-fegg? Linking Vowel to Vowel When one word ends with a vowel sound and the next word begins with a vowel sound, we link the words with a sort of W or Y sound. If our lips are round at the end of the first word, we insert a W sound:

            Leaves are loaded with chlorophyll, which makes them green. But all green plants also carry a set of chemicals called carotenoids. On their own, these look yellow or orange—carotenoids give color to corn and carrots, for example—but they’re invisible beneath the chlorophyllic green of a leaf for most of the year. In the fall, when the leaves are nearing the end of their life cycle, the chlorophyll breaks down, and the yellow-orange is revealed. “The color of a leaf is subtractive, like crayons on a piece of paper,” says David Lee, formerly of Florida International University, who has studied leaf color since 1973. Most trees have evolved to produce a different set of chemicals, called anthocyanins, when it’s bright and cold in autumn. These have a reddish tint and are responsible for the color of a blueberry. They’re also sometimes made in newly sprouting leaves, which explains their sometimes reddish tint. Where chlorophyll and anthocyanins coexist, the co

  The social media habit of some of my friends that I find most offputting is the frequent appearance of photos of their children.   Aside from their questionable taste, I believe these people are doing their kids a great diservice. They are making decisions that will affect their children’s future identity and privacy in ways we can barely guess at.  How much do you trust Facebook with your data, your images, and what it knows about you and your friends? Even if you’re “not doing anything wrong”, even if you are willing to trade your own privacy for the convenience of easily sharing links and vacation photos, why would any caring parent want to make those decisions for their children, choosing the riskier option?   As someone born in the 1970s, my childhood remains private, recorded only on paper diaries written by me, and on printed photographs stored on my parents’ bookshelves, mostly undigitized. My teenage peccadillos and the sins of my students days are mercifully
