18 posts held, back to 7 August 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 18 posts for this entry, the most recent from 10 August 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

I built a vocabulary app that teaches you vocabulary based on history's greatest novels rather than showing you generic and unmemorable lists. I'd like some honest criticism of the approach For transparency this is my own app and the mods allow one link for feedback and that's genuinely what I'm after. The premise of the app is that every word in it comes from a literary classic rather than a frequency list or a di…

evidence of pronunciation I looked up the etymology of "hymn" and read that there is evidence of the silent -n from 1530. This leads me to two questions. What evidence do we have from 1530 about the pronunciation of this word? And, in general, how do etymologists determine pronunciation of words through history? https://www.etymonline.com/word/hymn https://redd.it/1vjrzo4 @r_etymology

Is “Visual marks” a real phrase? I remember hearing someone saying that a Visual mark is an image or a group of images or symbols that represents a word or a sentence (like Apple, Inc’s symbol is of an Apple) im not sure if they made that up or is it legit. https://redd.it/1vjih31 @r_etymology

Origins of the name Ferdinandus My name is Ferdinandus, aside from my dad I don't know a single person who shares my name. It supposedly is uncommon but not unheard of in South Africa. Google gives me mixed results with nothing concrete and no one of any note with my name. Is it just made up? EDIT: Im aware Ferdinand is a common name, I'm moreso looking for where the variation "Ferdinandus" came from. So far the b…

Showing the 12 most recent of 18 posts we hold for @r_etymology. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Mentions
Named by 9 registered channels — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.

A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
