@GiuseppeVerdi60 sed te servat a pretio maximo!

(UTINAM) mox ibo ad symphoniam Stevie Wonder, SI TICKETMASTER LICET ME intrare applicationem!!!! BIS coegit me ut mutem clavem meam. cogitatne ea claves nucleares esse???

@brockgolfer @MrTChace I'm still pondering how a rich girl can travel on any path in the woods given she's got diamonds on the soles of her shoes. Ouch. (Hootie and Simon were perennial interlocuters in the Olden Days of Freshman English.)

@diyclassics Great talk!

What a night! EG AcaDeca won the state competition for the second year in a row, and I was honored to receive the Capotosto award. Off to TX for the Nationals... #eghsavengers @EGHSAvengers #acadeca

@toutovlepo fortasse equi sunt voluntas et cupiditas. auriga voluntatem regnare potest, sed cupiditas non regnari potest. animae humanae est cernere illos, et ideas (formas?) obtinere conari.

Never was very good at philosophy. Despite that, I keep deciding foolishly to teach it to my students. How'd I do? Did I understand it correctly? I know precise language is important for philosophy so is mine ok?

@GiuseppeVerdi60 re vera! solana tuberosa sunt holera utilissima in culina. potes ea comminuere, secare, assare, fervere, et alias res agere.

Potes agere adeo cum eis

cogito, non, scio patatae optimi holera sunt

@GiuseppeVerdi60 cur felicissimus auctor mox eris? quam fabulam scripsisti?

mox esse optimus-vendens auctor: ego

Gratus sum pro discipulis caris.

@ComeniusTri gratias tibi. recenter legi aliqua verba qua antea scripsi modo comparativo "anxiior" et non rectum visum est. pro certo magis idoneus scribere "magis anxius"!

@brevkin Ex quadam syntaxi Latona a Johanne Baptista Palangha scripta anni 1722 (pp. 56-7), qua usus sum ad hanc notam in Atrio Comenii.

@kballestrini Would love to know if there is consensus on what this looks like, too. Our district is moving this way in a few years (standards based reports for HS) and I've no clue what that will look like for WL.

@brockgolfer I guess #broburrow doesn't have the same ring, but #guygrotto has some real gravitas.

@MagisterConway I feel like another variable in the formula would be how unique the word is in general (freq among all latin words), or comparing the frequency of close synonyms (eg. et vs ac) to freq of specific authors.

The best idea I have is to take the % frequency with which author X uses each word minus the % frequency in the corpus as a whole, and identify the words where the discrepancy is largest. But I'm sure people smarter than me have come up with a more complex solution than that...

Corpus analysis question: if I have a corpus of text from various authors, what is the best way to identify the words that are most unique to that author (i.e. the words that that author uses significantly more than other authors do)? Is there an agreed-upon formula for that?

@MagisterConway My guess is either the word order implies something or that the collocare modifies the tuniculam rather than strophium.

More Catullus 64 rabbit holes, this time about the strophium (the garment worn to support the breasts) Sources say it was worn over the tunic, and I think I've traced that claim to here. But doesn't the Latin not specify whether it's worn under or over? Am I missing something?

Didn't know how much I needed to see this right now.

Maximas gratias to @MrsAgresti and her graphic design students for these colorful and impactful posters in my classroom. #AvengersUnite

@agameganon @BenJavertComedy there was also the Classical Association of New England conference today and yesterday, also virtual. Auspicious weekend?

@Karen_Lockhart8 @mschemwoulfee @aperrincycling I did 👀 some German strudel thing but it was not clear if it was being saved for some other purpose. Are we sure WWI isn't short for weight watchers idlers?

@mschemwoulfee @aperrincycling I second this concern today...was missing my morning teachers room breakfast snack

A sincere message to all the WWI Teams as we head to the end. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…
