Education & Reference - 26 January 2007

Do you know the title of the book, as well as the author that these two terms come from? And do you know what they mean?

"Inn sewer ants"
"Reflected sound of underground spirits"

This is a bit of a riddle, but if you can work it out, it makes sense. And yes, this actually is from a book written by a well known author.

English is my second language,

according to some dictionaries like the Cambridge and the Collins,
i have learnt that the r sound is pronounced only before a vowel.
here i have an example but i do not know whether it is pronounced, please help by answering how the letter "R"s being quoted is pronounced in British and American English respectively.

1.A. The bus station is five hundred met"r"es away.
B. The bus station is only one met"r"e away.

also, i am confused on how to pronounce the letter "s" in English.
In what case is it pronounced as "z" and when is it pronounced as "s" respectively in British and American English?

as a non- native speaker, i cannot distinguish the difference between the voice between the "th" in the word thirsty and the word "f" in the word five and between the "th" in the word "the" and "d" in the word dog. (except i know the positions of the tongue are varied)
as native speakers, are you always able to feel the difference just by hearing?

A friend of mine had her child tested privately and the results told her that her kid had a severe learning disability and an IQ of 60. This seems way off to me, her daughter is very observant and engaging. How could she have made it to grade six with none of her teachers noticing any problems and has not been in any resource program?

Now what is the message there? The message is that there are no "knowns." There are thing we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know. So when we do the best we can and we pull all this information together, and we then say well that's basically what we see as the situation, that is really only the known knowns and the known unknowns. And each year, we discover a few more of those unknown unknowns.
