Spelling Demons

Good point. Yuppie = young upward mobile
They are not trapped or forced into the lower echelon. They do as they wish and they may be monied already. They are in a mental growth period. They hate the status quo. They would like Trump.

Started playing a game on my Kindle called Lost For Words. It's a Boggle like game but based on hexagons and it concentrates on categories and areas of knowledge. The way that it's programmed it allows both the American and the British spellings for most words so I've never been so glad for all the variances.

But when I hit the category for French Cooking I had no end of trouble with the spellings. cassoulet, bouillabaisse, creme brulee, yummy to eat, impossible to spell.

French Immersion students in our school have trouble with English spellings, so it works both ways!

Students being submersed under French?

[Ken, Moderator]

Students who sign on to a school within the school where all subjects (science, history, math, literature) are taught in French.

Yeah, that sounds like full immersion. Tough.
