A Day at the Circus – A Hard C and Soft C Game.

The consonants “c” and “g” are two of the letters that make different sounds depending on the letters that follow them in the word. The most common sound for the “g” is the “hard” sound as in the word “goat”. However, if the “g” is followed by an i, e or y it makes the “soft” /j/ sound as in the word “giraffe”.

A few words ending in -nger are pronounced with a hard “g”, although the “er” ending is not a suffix:

• anger.
• finger.
• ginger (one pronunciation)
• hunger.
• linger.
• malinger.
• monger.
• conger.

The general rule is this: if the letter after ‘g’ is ‘e’, ‘i’ or ‘y’, the pronunciation is a ‘soft g’ as in ‘fringe’. Some examples of words with the soft ‘g’ are: Any other letter that follows requires a ‘hard’ pronunciation of ‘g’ as in ‘progress’ and some more examples are: golf, pig, great, grasp and gum.

In English, the sound of soft ⟨g⟩ is the affricate /dʒ/, as in general, giant, and gym. A ⟨g⟩ at the end of a word usually renders a hard ⟨g⟩ (as in “rag”), while if a soft rendition is intended it would be followed by a silent ⟨e⟩ (as in “rage”).

The rule. Here’s the rule: When ‘c’ comes directly before the letters ‘e’, ‘i’ or ‘y’ we use the /s/ sound. in other cases we use a /k/ sound.

2.) The letter “g” makes the /j/ sound

• gem.
• gentle.
• giant.
• gymnasium.
• ginger.
• hydrogen.

A hard “g” is pronounced “g” as in golf, pig, running, great, gum, fragrant, grasp, glut, and progress.

There are rules that govern whether to pronounce letter “g” as /j/ or /g/. The first rule is that letter “g” is pronounced as /j/ when it is followed by letter “e”, “i” or “y”. Because of the same rule, letter “g” is pronounced as /j/ throughout in the word “ginger” and differently in words “region” and “pentagon”.

Jesus (IPA: /ˈdʒiːzəs/) is a masculine given name derived from the name IESVS in Classical Latin, Iēsous (Greek: Ἰησοῦς), the Greek form of the Hebrew and Aramaic name Yeshua or Y’shua (Hebrew: ישוע‎)….Jesus (name)

The reason is very simple. We pronounce these J’s like Y’s because these words and names are borrowed from languages where the letter J is pronounced like English Y. Instead of changing the spellings to fit our pronunciation system, we kept the spellings from the original languages, and we kept the pronunciations.

The letter H in Spanish (and Portuguese and French) has no sound. The English ‘J’ as in janitor sound does not exist in Spanish. ‘J’ has a different sound. There are also many other English sounds that do not exist in Spanish, like ‘sh’ and ‘th’.

“A six-week study showed that capsaicinoids found in habaneros reduced total cholesterol and bad cholesterol levels without reducing levels of good cholesterol,” Friedman says. “So while eating a habanero might make you sweat and increase your heart rate, it may also actually help lower your blood pressure.”

Habanero chilis are very hot, rated 100,000–350,000 on the Scoville scale. The habanero’s heat, flavor and floral aroma make it a popular ingredient in hot sauces and other spicy foods.

According to the Daily Post, the Dragon’s Breath chile, now the world’s spiciest pepper, clocks in at a hellish 2.48 million on the Scoville scale, dwarfing its nearest competitor, the Carolina Reaper, which comes in at 2.2 million.
