The
grapheme T (

t) is a letter in the
Czech and
Slovak alphabets. It is formed from Latin
T with the addition of
hácek and is placed right after regular T in the alphabet. It is used to denote
/c/.
Cedilla
A
cedilla ( ; from
Spanish), also known as
cedilha (from Portuguese) or
cédille (from French), is a hook or tail ( ) added under certain letters as a
diacritical mark to modify their pronunciation. In
Catalan,
French, and
Portuguese, it is used only under the
c, and the entire letter is called respectively
c trencada (i.e. "broken C"), "c cédille", and "c cedilhado" (or "c cedilha", colloquially).
Countdown
A
countdown is a sequence of backward counting to indicate the time remaining before an event is scheduled to occur.
NASA commonly employs the term "T-minus" during the preparation for and anticipation of a rocket launch, and even "E-minus" for events that involve spacecraft that are already in space, where the "T" could stand for "Test" or "Time", and the "E" stands for "Encounter", as with a comet or some other space object. Other events for which countdowns are commonly used include the detonation of an explosive, the start of a race, the start of the
New Year, or any anxiously anticipated event. An early use of a countdown once signaled the start of a
Cambridge University rowing race. The first known association with rockets was in the 1929 German science fiction movie
Die Frau im Mond (English:
Woman in the Moon) written by
Thea von Harbou and directed by
Fritz Lang in an attempt to increase the drama of the launch sequence of the story's lunar-bound rocket.
