In English, ⟨th⟩ for /t/ can also occur in loan-words from French or German, such as Neanderthal. The English name Thomas has initial /t/ because it was loaned from Norman. In the transcription of Australian Aboriginal languages ⟨th⟩ represents a dental stop, /t̪/. In Irish and Scottish Gaelic, ⟨th⟩ represents the lenition of ⟨t⟩. In most cases word-initially, it is pronounced /h/. This use of digraphs with ⟨h⟩ to indicate lenition is distinct from the other uses which derive from Latin. While it is true that the presence of digraphs with ⟨h⟩ in Latin inspired the Goidelic usage, their allocation to phonemes is based entirely on the internal logic of the Goidelic languages. Lenition in Gaelic lettering was traditionally denoted in handwriting using an overdot but typesetters lacked these pre-composed types and substituted a trailing ⟨h⟩. It is also a consequence of their history: the digraph initially, in Old and Middle Irish, designated the phoneme /θ/, but later sound changes complicated and obscured the grapheme-sound correspondence, so that ⟨th⟩ is even found in some words like Scottish Gaelic piuthar ‘sister’ that never had a /θ/ to begin with.
Hotels that embrace our natural heritage in this way create environments that feel innately calming and trustworthy, forging positive associations that guests carry long after checkout. Wellness: Beyond the instinctual allure of biophilic design, there is also ample research that such design principles can translate to better wellness outcomes. Researchers have demonstrated that exposure to indoor plants and greenery, whether at residential houses or in locations such as hotels, can improve people’s overall experience. For instance, in “greened areas,” people report lower rates of depression and fatigue along with increasing productivity and creativity. This is great for guests and employees alike, both of whom will have more positive associations with a hotel. It’s clear that nature-inspired design offers a unique opportunity for hotels to set themselves apart, but how can such design principles be implemented? Developing a nature-inspired brand identity isn’t about randomly placing plants throughout a property. It requires thoughtful planning aligned with overall brand strategy. While there are virtually endless dimensions to consider, let’s go over a few key concerns that can help guide one’s approach.

Always written as two words. As good or better than. Expressions of this type should be corrected by rearranging the sentence. Bid. Takes the infinitive without to. The past tense in the sense, “ordered,” is bade. But. Unnecessary after doubt and help. Particularly awkward is the following of one but by another, making a contrast to a contrast or a reservation to a reservation. This is easily corrected by re-arrangement. Can. Means am (is, are) able. Not to be used as a substitute for may. Case. The Concise Oxford Dictionary begins its definition of this word: “instance of a thing’s occurring; usual state of affairs.” In these two senses, the word is usually unnecessary. See Wood, Suggestions to Authors, pp. 68-71, and Quiller-Couch, The Art of Writing, pp. Certainly. Used indiscriminately by some writers, much as others use very, to intensify any and every statement. A mannerism of this kind, bad in speech, is even worse in writing.
