Daily we take photos of a 'wonder' & share before sunset. Inevitably, we view these orthographically. Adapt this for students to share observations & the word’s story. In doing so discover the orthography of words is always more than surface accuracy. caughtinthespellofwords.wordpress.com/2020/04/21/tom…

#orthographicinquiry sparks thinking. Inquire, quest, inquisitive, query all derive from L. quaerere: to seek to learn, strive mentally. Synonyms past & present also reflect the intellectual act of inquiry:investigate, underseek,insee, sleuth. Inquiry is active,never passive.
Ignoring the interrelationship of morphology, etymology & phonology stultifies teaching spelling.Stultify, stultiloquence and constult are morphological relatives derived from L. stultus, foolish. Stolid is a distant relative. #orthographicinquiry never stolid, always intriguing.

Blustery days in Melbourne. Bluster of late 14c, to blunder, go astray. Applied to people it’s to shout angrily, noisy self-assertion, swaggering talk. Perhaps etymologically related to OE blow and distantly to windy air-filled words blather, flatulent, inflation.#orthography

"You might say I'm sitting on top of the world with a rainbow round my shoulder." "A most satisfactory state of affairs, sir."
Understanding the structure of a word - what the denotation of the base is - the senses brought to it by affixes - that is what makes the word memorable and meaningful. Highlighting vocab in 7-8th grade science.
Musing of the day: 'exorbitant' is one of those words that wear their hearts on their sleeves (secretaries kept secrets; to breakfast is to break your overnight fast, a cupboard was a board/table for cups). It's from the Latin for 'out of orbit', so off course/unreasonable.
I love my job.
Incredible explanation Thankyou @susie_dent

Editing is like rearranging furniture in a room to make the space more functional or vibrant. I may add some small accent pieces or take out some clutter if needed, but I'm not going to throw out everything and replace it with furniture that suits my tastes. It's not my house.
OED Word of the Day: dulciloquent, adj. Of a person: sweet-spoken. Hence also of an utterance, style, etc.: characterized by pleasing or mellifluous language. oed.com/view/Entry/583…
Musing of the day: screamer, note of admiration, shriek-mark, gasper, wonderer, pling, bang, shout-pole, and slammer - all terms used at some point in our history for the exclamation mark.

What else to do on a Saturday night than teach your mum orthography? Oh, and yes, that is butchers paper from fish and chips 😂
With working from home, it seems we fall into 2 categories: those who forget to eat & so have brinner only for the day (esp if they eat cereal or eggs when they do finally eat) or those of us (me) who look in the fridge every time we need a mental break. #orthographicinquiry
