Spelling
Tom, Katie's older brother, was listening as Katie spelled words out loud. The first word was "Christmas." The second word was "like." Then she started spelling another longer word.
"That's not a word," Tom said.
Katie insisted that it was.
Katie's mother asked her to repeat what she had spelled.
Katie said, "c-a-l-f-l-i-c-k."
"The first part is a word and the second part is a word," Katie's mother said, "but together the two words don't ay anything."
"Yes sir, Mom," Katie said, "It is what we are -
calflicks."
The first college to use the word "campus" to describe its grounds was Princeton. "Campus" is Latin for "field."
For me, a page of good prose is where one hears the rain [and] the noise of battle.
