New Log Cabin Quilt

Hhmmmm! I hadn't encountered the spoken word before so I would have assumed that either "ph" or "th" were silent.

Thanks for my learning exercise of the day lol

Maybe you could help me out with a word I haven't found (mind you, probably not looking all that hard either!). I was wearing a tee shirt with "ailurophile" on the front (cat lover) and someone asked me what the correct term was for a dog lover. I couldn't remember. Don't suppose you would happen to know, would you? TIA

well..skylos is ancient greek for dog.....not sure that helps any

Larisa, too scared to turn around and take a look at the piles of fabric and patterns everywhere, so hunting online for various things

Not remotely what I would have expected: philocynic.

That's right! Well done pig!! After posting I decided I was just being lazy by not looking myself. I stumbled across this -

Did you happen to notice this one on the same list? > cynophobe : The dog-fearer or hater, and not just the mailman and milkman.

If you come across an explanation or connection to cynic, please do tell us!

LOL That is a pet peeve with me... in the opposite direction, Pig. I started pronouncing it before I knew the "t" was supposed to be silent. I learned to read phonetically, and it is written as "oft-en" so obviously that is how it should be pronounced. I have cleaned it up mostly, but if I am tired a soft "t" sound does happen. (And at one point anyway, that was a secondary pronunciation.)

Pati, > My favorite example of that is "off tin". T in "often" has been silent how

But taking over the world is too much work! ROFLOL

Oft-en with a pronounced 'T' is perfectly acceptable. So, don't worry Pati. It is definitely an alternative pronunciation and not incorrect. . In message , Pati Cook writes

I don't know why, but the link was broken. Below is a new link. I am not sure if photobucket is the best place to host pictures.Hope this helps.

I will try again. Evidently Photobucket is having a bad day. I hope this one works. If not I will have to contact them later or tomorrow.

John

Try this Ruth

Thank you John. That is a beautiful quilt, you must be very happy with it. I couldn't even attempt something like that. Ruth Sydney
