JEFFREY HASTINGS

About 100 people gathered in front of the State House in June of 2020 to support law enforcement. People come to the State House to tell leaders what they think. Now you can do it online as well. Here's how.

Why wait until elections to get to know your lawmakers? Watch them in committee and in sessions on YouTube on your phone, tablet or computer. Maybe during your coffee break if you are at work. Or after work, you can catch the day’s recorded live streams.

Below find out how to watch online, who represents your district and express your opinion on proposed legislation. The budget is heating up just as many critical issues are coming to a head and your input is needed. InDepthNH.org plans to run the following links with every story relating to the legislature for the rest of the session as a public service to help you stay informed. Because we care, just as we know you do.

Please let us know if that works for you or how we could do it better by emailing nancywestnews@gmail.com. Or let us know how you think your legislators are doing and we will try to publish your opinion as long as you leave your name and what town or city you live in, in groups of opinion pieces. And don’t miss any of our reporting by Paula Tracy, Garry Rayno, Katharine Webster, Mike Kitch and Damien Fisher.

It’s all of our democracy. We all need to step up. I particularly like watching on YouTube. You can even sign up for reminders. And listen on your phone as you drive. Thanks, Nancy West

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.
