@HQNewsNow Affordability comes from Old English geforðian (1100 CE), meaning “to provide or supply.” By the 1500s, afford had meant “to have the means to pay for.” Today, affordability describes whether items like housing, healthcare, education, and food are within financial reach.

@HQNewsNow The silent B:

lamb, limb, thumb, numb, dumb, crumb, comb, bomb, tomb, womb, climb, plumber, plumbing, debt, doubt, subtle.

Most words ending in -mb have a silent B (lamb, thumb, climb, comb), while debt, doubt, and subtle are historical spellings where the B isn’t pronounced.
