Just a few words...

that were mispronounced today during presentations.

Constantinople, schism, monetary, indictment, interference, Stephen, zealots, fortifications, perished, oblivion, Nicholas, Marseilles, sepulchre, Louis (as in Louis, King of France), contagion, Constantine, Venetians, Bosphorus, tactical, diplomacy, Tunis, liberties, medieval, sect, Benedict, martyrs, edict, Byzantine

There were a few more that I will give them because they are hard to say in general. --Saladin, Damietta and Acre (the city in the middle east)

It was a long day and there's still one more to go of presentations.

People make sure that your children can read. That is so important. Some of these are words that sophomores in high school should not be mispronouncing especially if they are in Pre-Advanced Placement classes. They also need a little help with grammar and spellcheck. Please make sure that they understand that there are words that need to be capitalized that spell check will not catch. There are also several spelling errors that are the same way, the computer will not recognize that you misspelled a word if it actually spells another word, it only makes it awkward to read the sentence. So even after spell check you need to sit down and read your paper or have someone else read it for you or in rare cases you may do both. I only say have someone else read it because you may not catch your mistakes because you know what you want it to say and you will unnaturally skip over these mistakes never knowing any different.

I promise that I'm going to get around to doing some more blogging when life finally stops trying to kick me all over the map. There are quite a few different things that I would like to address and I just haven't had the time to get to them. Especially since House is coming on...I have to decide. I also have a quilt that I'm working on. It seems to be going very well right now. Of course I really haven't gotten bored with it like I have any other time.

love ya!
