The "zh" sound can be spelled in many different ways in English — like the "s" in MEASURE; like the "g" in BEIGE; like the "z" in AZURE; like the "j" in MAHARAJAH; and like the "x" in LUXURY as some people pronounce it. The "zh" sound can also be spelled as a "t" in one instance. We know of only one common word this is true of, not counting its derivatives. What word is it?skydiveboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17174073226290431753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730391.post-32825433327485530692023-04-30T04:58:00.482-07:002023-04-30T04:58:00.482-07:00You should renegotiate your dill with him.You should renegotiate your dill with him.jsulbyrnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00121691073253882729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730391.post-41554233371504632102023-04-29T18:57:15.683-07:002023-04-29T18:57:15.683-07:00But have you ever had a sprain in the rain in Spai...But have you ever had a sprain in the rain in Spain?skydiveboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17174073226290431753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730391.post-62492731775556475252023-04-29T18:45:04.580-07:002023-04-29T18:45:04.580-07:00I have never had a sprain that has not involved pa...I have never had a sprain that has not involved pain.

So I now have someone come in each Wednesday to clean the house. Five days a week I have a professional cook come in to prepare my dinner. I am happy with the person doing the cleaning, but not so much with the chef. He keeps making the same errors over and over, and I hate to say anything, but he tends to over-season his otherwise tasty preparations, and he does this thyme and thyme again.skydiveboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17174073226290431753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730391.post-22459138878410355972023-04-28T13:26:33.497-07:002023-04-28T13:26:33.497-07:00My hint referred to Johny Cash's cover of Hurt...My hint referred to Johny Cash's cover of Hurt. clothesloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08495116094160726818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730391.post-86330657266376365852023-04-28T12:40:03.813-07:002023-04-28T12:40:03.813-07:00A 'complaint' or a possible 'remedy...<a href="https://twitter.com/timjhogan/status/1651061177257013248/mediaviewer" rel="nofollow"> A 'complaint' or a possible 'remedy'??</a>68Chargerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08752278586155221236noreply@blogger.com
