NASHUA – An estimated 35,000 people embraced the cold temperatures and steady breeze to kick off the holiday season with the annual Winter Holiday Stroll.

Walking with candles from City Hall North to the tree lighting ceremony, participants lined Main Street.

Santa, of course, helped with the countdown, and tree lighting.

Speaking of Words: Those Silent Consonants

Speaking of WordsBy MICHAEL FERBER We often hear about “silent e,” that magical letter that turns a can into a cane or a glob into a globe, as Tom Lehrer put it in his charming song for the Electric Company many years ago, but a greater problem for English spelling is a large set of silent consonants. It is one of the reasons English words are so hard to spell or, if you have their spelling before you, so hard to guess their pronunciation. I think it is only in anglophone countries that you can find spelling bees or spelldowns in every school, and statewide and national contests (televised!) every year. They would be pointless in most alphabetic languages, as the spelling usually tracks the way people speak, but English spelling is stubbornly conservative: except for a few words here and there, every attempt at spelling reform has failed miserably. And among the spellings that are conserved in English, like fossils in rocks or amber, are those permeated by consonants that were once perfectly loud but are now mute.
