Literally every argument I have heard from colleagues in [another lit department not my own]
(Thread) In the first What If? book, I answered a question about cooking a steak by dropping it from space. At one point, I commented—jokingly!—that if anyone put a steak in a hypersonic wind tunnel to gather better data, I’d love to see the video. Well, I have good news.

What do you do when your 9-year-old announces one day at the cage, after you've watched him batting right for two years, never left, that he's now a switch hitter, and he smiles down your skepticism, and he proceeds to hit perfectly well batting left? Encourage it, I guess!

QOTD: "Sweeping emendations" are "the last infirmity of exegesis" (E. Harrison, Studies in Theognis, p. 167)
Plenty more, but sadly “fatherland” is making a comeback (most often in American English as “homeland” TBF)

Words that functionally only exist for high school Latin students as glosses of Latin vocabulary, but are unknown or unused in their real life: - suppliant - tawny - garrison - fatherland What other words can you think of?
Once in a blue screen, I see a bumper sticker that literally makes me laugh out loud. This is one of them.
