Subtle is spelled weird, but rhymes with muddle. Do you also pronounce “mad” and “mud” the same way? With my accent they have the same first vowel sounds as saddle and subtle

It’s very easy to miss if you aren’t looking for it. But if you keep an eye out, you’ll see most clocks with roman numerals do this.
I think either “to” or “on” would be acceptable in that context. English likes to use “to” with attention, like in the phrases “pay attention to” or “draw attention to”, often emphasizing the change in focus. But you can also keep your attention “on” something.
As a native English speaker from the US east coast, I would probably have chosen “on”. Just sounds better to me to use “on” instead of “to” when there is no associated verb like “pay” or “draw”. Not sure why.


She is a narcissist, talking herself up and putting down the people around her. Constantly bulldozing over clearly established boundaries by deliberately misnaming Worf, harassing Picard and Odo after they’ve made it very clear they aren’t comfortable with her advances, and just completely dismissing almost everything her daughter says. It’s clear she just does what she wants and expects everyone to go along with it, making a dramatic scene if anyone objects.
She’s a rich bitch that doesn’t care about anyone except herself and only really seems to help people when it already aligns with what she wants. It’s understandable that Deanna only talks to her mother when pushed into it.
Sure, but shuttle also rhymes with muddle in my East coast US accent, at least in normal conversation. I can force myself to slow down and really enunciate the T, but even then the difference is easy to miss.
