Iโve made the devastating discovery my other half calls a single weetbix a โWEET BICK.โ He says โbixโshould only be used for several weetbix (even though itโs spelt with an X.) Iโve informed him he has to call a single box a โbockโ from now on.

9 hours of an intensive Grammar Workshop at the end of Term 4 could be a horrifying prospect, but we did it with @TheGoodCopy today and it was invigorating, challenging and brilliant. Couldnโt recommend this more highly for English teams and beyond! Thank you brilliant Penny!!

Fellow nerds. A real thinker of a dangler for your weekend. Does it dangle? No. But also โฆ does it? Yes. @BCDreyer @mikepope @GrammarTable @MaryNorrisTNY, is this a perfect simileโmodifier storm? ๐

A classmate in my daughter's second grade class wrote a story about a rabbit that had no foot. She writes, "He lived. He went to the rabbit feet store. He bought a rabbit foot. He lived." We called it "The Existential Rabbit".
