Column: The 'idea' of /t/ in the English language

Pronounce this phrase as quickly as possible: “The hat rack tapped the bottle.” Now, take the words: “hat rack,” “tap” and “bottle,” read them aloud and sound out each individual sound, paying careful attention to how you pronounce the sounds that are written with the letter <t>. Did anything change?

Column: Aramark is bad food, and evil to boot

Campus dining is a classic example of a public institution being tarnished by the practices of a private company. It would be highly inefficient for UF to manage food services, which is why the university makes contracts with private food companies to handle dining. This is where Aramark comes in. Since 1995, Aramark has been contracted to bring students “Gator Dining.” The problem: Aramark has been under investigation multiple times over the past decade for labor law violations and food safety issues.
