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 - FAT32 vs. NTFS: File Size Limitation

Titera's Tidbit: Auger
"An auger" was, in medieval times, rendered "a nauger", revealing the tool's origins as a "thing that pierces a nave", the nave, nafu, being the center of a wheel and gar being an old Germanic word for spear. A similar transformation of the initial "en" sound took place with napkin, originally "an apkin", and uncle, originally "nuncle".
