It was overcast today, and the sky looked eerily dark. After school, I went to Vivian’s vocal class where we mostly focused on singing with an airy, falsetto voice. Then, I was supposed to have guitar class right after, but it didn't happen. My guitar tutor, Jane, had a family emergency – a close relative was literally dying in the hospital. She dashed off in front of us at lightning speed. I hope she made it in time to hear their last words; fingers crossed. Tomorrow is the Fourth of July – Happy Independence Day, America!

ENGLISH GRAMMAR🇬🇧🇺🇸

Why are the words terra and terror so similar? The words "terra" and "terror" are similar in sound but have distinctly different linguistic origins. Their phonetic similarity is largely coincidental. Here's a breakdown of their etymologies: Terra: Comes from the Latin word "terra," meaning "earth" or "land." Its ultimate root is the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) root *ters- meaning "to dry." This makes sense as land (earth) is often perceived as dry, in contrast to water. Words like "terrain," "terrestrial," "territory," and "Mediterranean" (in the middle of lands) all stem from this root. Terror: Comes from the Latin word "terror," meaning "fright," "fear," or "dread." Its root is the Latin verb "terrere," meaning "to frighten" or "to terrify." This, in turn, traces back to the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) root *tre- or *tres- meaning "to shake" or "to tremble." Other words derived from this root include "terrible," "tremble," "tremor," and "deterrent." In summary: While both words start with "terr-" and have a similar two-syllable structure, their underlying meanings and ancient roots are entirely separate. "Terra" is about the physical ground, while "terror" is about the feeling of fear or shaking. Their resemblance is a fascinating example of how similar-sounding words can arise independently in language.
