The wick itself is not what's burning, it 'wicks' (draws up) the liquid wax up to the top where it evaporates and burns as the flame.

The heat does eventually degrade the wick, just at the right rate to stay close enough to the top of the wax to melt it.

The number of native English speakers who can't pronounce "specific" and instead say "pacific" is too damn high.

Schedule (sk- or sh-) differs between countries/regions. So you're good either way.

It either rhymes with "nine" or with "fin" depending on the phase of the moon.
