sionnach commented on the word stimthought
Just a thought. English isn't really big on the 'mt' letter sequence. It does occur, but only very rarely.
warmth is one of the few words where it occurs 'naturally' (i.e. not in a proper name, or as a result of concatenation)
dreamt is another. Words involving the prefix femto .
After a few concatenations like dreamtime, tomtit, circumterrestrial, the list gets pretty sparse, unless you allow names of places, people, or products:
Binghamton, Hamtramck, Sumter, Klimt, Amtrak, Semtex.
These examples demonstrate that 'mt' is not a consonant pairing that is excluded from English because of pronunciation difficulties (unlike, say 'ng' to start a word). Nonetheless, it seems sufficiently rare as to be contra-indicated in neologisms.
It's ubiquitous in German and French (Amt, Comte).

In a democratic society, if more than 50% of people break a law, is that a vote against that law?
August 12, 2008
seanahan commented on the word stimthought
That is interesting. I mean, most everyone agrees that there should be speed limits, but most everyone breaks them! The USA was built upon the principle of "majority rule, minority rights", but if a majority of voters continue to elect people to put laws into place or revoke laws, and those in power replace the supreme court, eventually that voting block could change the laws to anything they wanted. In several countries, the Muslim majority attempted to vote in an Islamic dictator and disband the democracy. If this is the wish of the people, would it not be undemocratic to go against it?
