Review for class (being updated a bunch as I go along)

Teach put some links in the 'external links' section of Blackboard.
At least I think it was teach. I can't find any way to put links in.
I think she said in class they were just to get us started.

Oh all-knowing internets:
Today's assignment as posted on the Blackboard is
"Look at Punishmnet and discuss the choice of language -formal - infromal latinate or Anglosaxon register"

Which, okay. I've looked up those words and know what they mean.
How do I look up other words and know which slot they go in?

There was an etymological dictionary in class but someone lost it. Also I am not in class.



The world is full of interesting stuff I don't currently quite understand.
This is why I'm doing the studying. *nods*

Did someone said there was more Jack kissing on the DVDs?
If so, wheres?

am playing with etymonline.com
making latiny words purple and OE words blue

start of poem is mostly blue
end is mostly purple

cool


but lots more words to fiddle with.



neat potential computer program: does the color coding for you. Can't be that hard. As computers go.


The blue-to-purple change stayed true, I think. If I'm using it right.
I hate trying out new stuff in public...

... now I tried to post my conclusions to Blackboard, with clever thinky stuff.
The post does not seem to be there.
Bugger.

This would also explain why hardly anyone posts there.


I sulk and go back to bed.
