This is the last time I’ll be posting here. I made a new blog, death-moon, for anyone who cares. Adios, muchachos

I will slowly but surely be transitioning away from this blog; I feel a need to start fresh. I've made a new blog, death-moon which I'll be posting from here on out.

The pronunciation of the word “one” makes zero sense

[justsomeanonymousblog-deactivat]

allthingslinguistic Do you know why it’s pronounced like it is?

Etymonline says that one was “originally pronounced as it still is in only, and in dialectal good ‘un, young 'un, etc.; the now-standard pronunciation “wun” began c. 14c. in southwest and west England (Tyndale, a Gloucester man, spells it won in his Bible translation), and it began to be general 18c.” 

So it looks like it’s a case of pronunciation changing and then spelling not keeping up (or the older spelling being restored by prescriptivists), which is a common reason for illogical English spellings (see also all the kn- words). As to why the pronunciation changed, goodness knows but that’s just a thing that happens. I bet some 18th century parents were pretty annoyed at their 18th century kids for it though.

Seeing this makes me so mad. What is the point of this? Why is tumblr telling me what apps I should/shouldn't install? And who the hell doesn't have Instagram anyway? Plus I keep accidentally clicking it so my App Store opens up randomly, it's all around annoying. 2 thumbs down.

The permanent lava lake of the Nyiragongo Crater is the biggest in the world with an estimated 282 million cubic feet of lava. The volcano’s rim lies 11,380 feet above the ground. At 1,300 feet deep, the lava lake has created one of the many wonders of the African continent. (Source)
