@latintutorial Thank you!!!

@MagistraSolomon I use the Glicko rating system to create the ratings for each user and line. It’s a modification/improvement on the ELO system, which they may have heard of. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glicko_ra…

Hey @latintutorial , my students are curious about the scoring algorithms in hexameter.co. They’ve also started addressing elisions (“hello, elision!”).

@ErinAverett @DerekBCounts You’re welcome any time! And I’m reaching out to the SMUs tomorrow!

@ErinAverett @DerekBCounts Yes - Polis/Paphos, close enough!

@DerekBCounts @ErinAverett I remember when the SMUs taught me that beer quenched thirst better than soda. #rulestoliveby

@MagistraSolomon @ErinAverett 1990s=Drinking in the afternoon....

@DerekBCounts @ErinAverett One more classic. I think this was the Paphos hotel where I learned to dive.

@ErinAverett @DerekBCounts I’m surprised the plane allowed a biohazard on!

@ErinAverett @DerekBCounts Shit. Guess I didn’t learn that trick either.

@DerekBCounts @ErinAverett Shit. I guess I was the sucker who made the Brandy sours, then.

@MagistraSolomon @ErinAverett I have a pretty hard and fast rule in Cyprus - but I think it works globally: Never complain and the best brandy sour or frappe is the one that someone offers you.

@DerekBCounts New England Catholic schools: counting the days until Easter (4), then 9 days until April break. At which point it’s just a long, steady slide into summer.

When it's Saturday and you are DEFINITELY not ready for Monday-after-Spring Break😐

@ErinAverett @DerekBCounts Your strength, erin, was the tzatziki!

@ErinAverett @DerekBCounts I only got good at frappes in the US, with reliable refrigeration and ice, but I seem to recall my brandy sour game was pretty strong ... except for that summer when we decided to put Keo in everything.

@ErinAverett And we’ve come a long way since brandy sours in Athienou!

@ErinAverett So happy you’re enjoying it!

@DerekBCounts @wracksandruins @ErinAverett I wear any solid-color pjs or loungewear in public with abandon, I usually just pull them over my plaid pjs.

@wracksandruins @ErinAverett was made to switch the LL Bean plaid lounge pants to jeans to visit a sculpture garden. #bullshit

@DerekBCounts @ErinAverett @wracksandruins I’m actually thinking I just need to replace my current loungewear with more formal (and less ratty) loungewear for post-pandemic time. Baby steps

@ErinAverett @wracksandruins for real! I mean .... like #HenryMoore cares if I stroll by and admire his amorphous, anthropomorphic blobs in flannel?????

@artistfuly Melpomene is my middle name! Was my great-grandmother’s first name.

I love drawing Melpomene, the Muse of Tragedy all the time because my life right now is one big tragedy

@PEgeekscorner @JulieCremin @geotayler @louisecass @StevoEdu @PearceMrs @MrFallickPE @mrfitzhist @NewmanRC_Head @GmorrisMrs @olicav Yes! These are excellent!

@JulieCremin @geotayler @louisecass @StevoEdu @PearceMrs @MrFallickPE @mrfitzhist @NewmanRC_Head @GmorrisMrs @olicav @MagistraSolomon 🙏

Someone in the edutwitter world called these bitesize CPD, so I am sticking with this term for my one sheet posters on all things cognitive science, tips for learning and more. Plenty more to come in the series. Here are the first 4, available as pdf's from my shared drive 🤗

@MagistraKiernan That’s so funny you say that! My French understanding is way better than my Spanish, and I find Italian almost impossible to follow.

Okay, so does any Classicist have an actual listening understanding of French (without taking any classes)? My Spanish = decent, Italian = passable, French = no freakin' clue what any word is.
