In Latin, septem means "seven" and septimus means "seventh"; September was in fact the seventh month of the Roman calendar until 153 BC, when the first month changed from Kalendas Martius (1 March) to Kalendas Januarius (1 January).

Sip of the Day: Photography: Exposure Metering

Titera's Tidbit: Easel
An "easel" certainly makes life easier for an artist. It affords a sturdy place on which to rest a canvas, but ease has nothing to do with the word's origin. Instead, "easel" comes from the German esel or Dutch ezel. The English cognate of ezel is "ass" - a beast of burden, which a laden "easel" metaphorically resembles.
