Tuesday Musings

Today, young scholars, I am sending you back to freerice.com, but this time I would like you to go into categories and test your knowledge of good grammar. My rice goal for you is the same as yesterday, but you'll soon see that determining what "sounds" right is different than the concreteness to knowing the definition of a word versus not knowing. For me, grammar feels instinctive, but surely it came from a legitimate place where I learned rules and guidelines. As far as blogging today, I'd like you to write about the language that surrounds your life. Who are the people who you communicate with most? How do they speak? What is noticeable or patterned about the way they talk to you? Based on the people who've "taught" you to speak and write, what have you learned? What about HOW language has been presented to you shapes how you see the world and that speaker? Read that last sentence again. I'm going deep with this idea. Where does our language emerge from and how does that shape who we become or are? SO, blog on that one for some time and then head back to freerice for some grammar practice. Oh, and please include in your blog the new words you noted from yesterday and how you plan to incorporate them into your daily speech or writing.
