The sign ' - in Hamlet Hi everybody! What's the meaning of the (') as in: 'Tis bitter cold, ... or Horatio says 'tis but our fantasy, ... or Tush, tush, 'twill not appear. I don't find this today, and I imagine that is a old word, isn't used more. The doubt is : what's this?

Pronunciation What's the difference of the pronunciation between the words 'accept' and 'excecpt'? Because the phonect symbol is the same for both : /iks´ept/. Thanks

Write your biography??? The italk beg "Write your biography"; but it is a stranger order because these three questions 1) Where are you from? 2) Why you are learning a new language? and 3) What you are searching in italki? are not for you to make your biography -as if I were famous; it is something as a "introduce yourself". But is only words.. and it is the reason that I am here... learn new words ( in English). The English language is many loved here, Brazil, where I live. And a lot of words are presents our day by day, as a "shopping", "brainstorm", "delay", break" ... as in the internationals songs... academics texts (abstract)... so, the problem of this is for you study a new language here, you have to pay dear! For it, I am in italki, to help someone that is learning the portuguese - as me, because I know how is hard to learn a new language - and ask about my doubts. Thanks for read! Bye :)
