@patrickrhone Well said, sir. I had recently come across this apt observation from Alfred Brendel - "The word 'listen' contains the same letters as the word 'silent'."
@amit Wow. Interesting. I never noted that before. Copying into my Commonplace. Thanks!
@amit Love that! It's amazing how you can look at those words all your life and never notice.
