‘Probably’ is often pronounced /probly/. The syllable ‘ba’ is deleted because it’s followed by another syllable starting with a b. This is called haplology – or haplogy if you will.
Some people have an issue with /probly/, but what they don’t know is that their beloved form ‘probably’ is the result of haplology too: in Middle English, it was ‘probablely’.
Haplology can be found in all ages and places. My new infographic shows cases from English, Latin, French, Greek, German, and Portuguese.

Taiwanese photographer Yung Cheng Lin aka 3cm investigates the concept of femininity in a critical and provocative way.

In this series of images, the body draws incomplete or imperfect geometries as if it were forcing itself to respect rules that do not characterize it."
