What People Say About Us…

“Who does New Hampshire want to have its back when the next hare-brained, get-rich-quick, cockeyed, scenery-trashing, money-grubbing scheme threatens New Hampshire’s greatest legacy---it landscape? Well, I’ll want the reporters and editors at InDepthNH.org---the only news medium that staffed the critical Northern Pass hearings, from beginning to end. InDepthNH.org---good, solid, statewide news coverage, the kind you can depend on, the way things used to be and the way they should.”
John Harrigan, writer
Colebrook

"We desperately need investigative news organizations like InDepthNH to counter the fake Facebook postings and toxic partisan diatribe masquerading as the truth. I’m immensely grateful to InDepthNH for the invaluable work they do."
Gloria Norris
Filmmaker, author of KooKooland

“New Hampshire owes a debt of gratitude to IndepthNH.org for its investigative journalism covering government accountability issues. It has been a pleasure teaming up with them to enhance government transparency and accountability in the Granite State.”  
Gilles Bissonnette
ACLU-NH Legal Director

"The arrival of InDepthNH.org has been a game changer. It has filled the void of providing investigative journalism in New Hampshire. InDepthNH.org has provided ethical, quality journalism on issues that impact the lives of New Hampshire citizens daily. In addition to giving a voice and a platform to those who would otherwise be voiceless."

  • Speaking of Words: Words for Numbers

    Speaking of WordsBy MICHAEL FERBER        When we learn to count, we rattle off the first ten numbers as a set of arbitrary sounds as if they were proper names and have no other meaning.  After “ten,” in most languages, we might notice that the number names are constructed out of the first ten.  In Ancient Greek hen is “one” and deka is “ten,” so “eleven” is hendeka; “twelve” is dodeka.  So in Latin “eleven” is undecim, “twelve” is duodecim, and so on.  This system is still fairly clear in the descendants of Latin: French onze and douze, Spanish once and doce, and so on.  In English it is less clear: Where do “eleven” and “twelve” come from?  “Twelve” looks like it has “two” in it, and the l-v pattern is found in both words.  The first syllable of “eleven,” it turns out, comes from an old form of “one,” as is clear in other Germanic languages, such as Old High German einlif.  The second half of both words might come from an old form of “leave” or “left,” in which case the words might mean something like “ten and one (or two) left over,” though this is far from certain.        In any case, after “twelve” it is clear sailing: “thirteen” is “three+ten,” “fourteen” is “four+ten,” “twenty” is “two tens,” “thirty” is “three tens,” and so on.  Only at “hundred” do we find something new, and then at “thousand”; we’ll return to them.
