Education & Reference - 19 December 2006

My best friends aunt ran into me the other day, and that is how she referred to her. I didn't know what to say ~ it's not a word I've ever used. I looked it up, but wondered if anyone uses it in their everyday vocabulary?

In this movie, there is a statement made between Matt Damon and Jack Nicolson that Sigmund Freud once said that the Irish were the only nationality group that could not benefit from pychoanalysis because ..... If you saw this movie and remember that statment - Can anyone tell me if Freud really, really said this.
I'd really, really like to know.

I asked this question a while back and everyone who replied said " ber Nards" after speaking to several people who in fact attend St Bernard's church, and one whose husband is the principal at St Bernard's I found that the correct pronunciation is Ber nerds so you nerds are not all that smart!

I am a sophomore in college. I've passed the Praxis I tests. Now I'm at a crossroads, i can either choose to major in math and and teach math by passing the praxis II or major in english and take, I think two praxis II tests for english. I used to enjoy writing a column once a week for a newspaper, and I enjoy reading James Lee Burke, Nora Roberts, Sandra Brown etc. My scores on the praxis I tests were higher in math though than they were in english. So, I need some advice, opinions, which route to take. I visited the praxis testing website and looked at the pdf files of practice questions. The math praxis II test looked rather difficult. Which praxis II test is easier to master/pass, the english (which involves critiquing a students' essays etc) and writing.

well, i just wanted to see if anyone here could offer plausible suggestions. i come from a uniformed group (still a student), where we are in charge of training up the juniors, who are at most 3 years younger than us. anyway, these days parents seem to become over-protective of their children, and really, it is hindering us from exposing juniors to the rigour we used to have. and yes, no more coporal punishment like the old days.

can anyone suggest some way which we can effectively train up these juniors? they are getting weak and feeble...
