The FACS teachers gathered at the MRVED on March 11 for their 2nd meeting of the year. The morning was spent on completing program approval forms. In the afternoon the group participated in a 21st century skills activity and networked. There was much laughter and great ideas shared all day long with this great group of women!
Communication Briefings
This week's tidbit is entitled: Nonwords
You might be surprised to hear this, but some of the words that
you hear—and, perhaps, use—every day are not really words, in the strictest
sense. Here are a few “words” in common usage that you will not find in the
dictionary:
- Nevermind. If you mean “disregard”
or “do not consider that any longer,” use two words: never mind. As one
word, nevermind is an outdated American noun that means heed, as in “I
never gave that any nevermind.”
- Irregardless. The correct word is
“regardless.”
- Alot. Use two words: a lot.
- Alright. Again, use two words: all
right. Alright is a nonstandard version that is gaining acceptance but has
not yet achieved legitimacy.
