Words & Wordplay - July 2007

According to the textbook, the Neolithic Revolution has caused several dramatic developments that have changed the nature of human existence. The introduction to agriculture encouraged the formation of larger as well as more stable human communities. This allowed many people to settle more permanently in one area. With better food supplies and a “more settled existence,” agricultural people could afford to build better houses and villages. As agricultural farming became more elaborate, the need for new tools sprang. Soon, the invention of the potter’s wheel came into existence around 6000 B.C.E. Eventually, this in turn, encouraged faster and higher-quality pottery production. The need for even higher quality tools came around 4000 B.C.E, where the use of metalworking became commonplace after the Neolithic Revolution. These newly found inventions freed many people from the community for specialized jobs and activities. As farming evolved, new animals were also domesticated. ....

sometimes, during conversations, people use to say,
"Holy cow!!"
What do they exactly mean? I mean is it an appreciation or a sort of degrading the others??

I would like to get help with pronouncing "ts", words and phases such as, "eaTS", "LeT'S", "rats" etc.

Before, when I pronounce "ts", I usually push my tongue to the teeth(tip touching teeth fully), and the sound aspire almost right between the gap of the teeth with the tongue touching it.

But now, when I think of it carefully, I think its incorrect. Because if I pronounce t followed by s slowly, I realise my old way was wrong.
Should the sound aspire on the "front meat of the upper jaw", rather than at the front where the teeth are? In other words, the "ts" sound should be aspired a little bit behind the teeth, and the tongue shouldn't touch the front teeth when pronouncing "ts"?

Can native speakers tell me which one is correct(first/second), or neither? Thank you very much.
