1. Got an A on the sociolinguistics midterm, and an A on the first project.
2. Only got a 75 on the Latin midterm. That's it, next week is devoted to Latin! For one thing, I'll give myself more time for the homework....
3. *giggles* My sociolinguistics class, we're discussing gender-marked words in English, and reading from the books how various words are currently or were historically marked. One pair of words is male and female. Now, really I think the important topic would be that they now
appear to be a matched pair, with the feminine form marked as feminine, but we went etymologically and the professor mentioned (reading from the book) that feminine comes from a diminuative. Up goes the hand and open the mouth.
