 |  |  | UE on celebrity site - New Book
< on 9/19/2012 4:51 AM >
|  | | | In case you haven't seen this already.
http://www.radaron...-mental-institutes
Eery images inside some of New England's most famous mental asylums and rehabilitation centers from the 19th century give a fascinating insight into the extreme measures used in the bygone era.
The dark collection is featured in Abandoned Asylums of New England: A Photographic Journey by John Gray, who ventured into the abandoned buildings and empty hallways of the forgotten institutions that were were closed decades ago.

| | | | I'd like to see it, but my library system doesn't have it, nor is it available via Prospector.
I borrowed Ghostly Ruins: America's Forgotten Architecture recently.

| | | | I am mortified to see that "eery" is now regarded as a legitimate alternate spelling of "eerie." The relentless and advancing stampede toward illiteracy claims another victory. It's only a matter of time before "ex cetera" is legitimized.

I noticed the spelling too, although I'd had no idea until now that it was an acceptable alternative.
I could wax philosophic on this topic; I try to remember that language is fluid and ever-changing (albeit toward functional illiteracy for the most part).

It's not. I believe that he was just commenting upon the fact that it's popping up more often.

Well, I wouldn't use it, but I did see it listed in some online dictionaries as an alternate spelling... it may have begun as an "urban" spelling that is leaking into common use?
"Often" - silent "t" or no? In my book, it's silent, but in the last five or so years, it has become increasingly common to pronounce the "t"...

Eerie \Ee"rie\, Eery \Ee"ry\, a. [Scotch, fr. AS. earh timid.]
1. Serving to inspire fear, esp. a dread of seeing ghosts;
wild; weird; as, eerie stories.
" She whose elfin prancer springs By night to eery
warblings. " --Tennyson.
Eery is an older English word from Scottish origins. But its fucking stupid so lets stick with Eerie.
to the book- I do wish I got to shoot at Manteno, i always enjoy seeing one of those "gennie" shots, personally.
