hello !

I need to find a slogan for a university. This slogan has to be dynamic, young ! If possible short words, please don't write something like shakespeare :)

All our studies are in several languages. That would be interesting if the slogan also says that.

Thank you for your help !

Hi Folks,
I have been banned from mentioning the name of a Bedfordshire village, as it is called Shingay - {Charlie Uniform Mike} - Wendy.
What a parsemonious bunch !
It is on the Ordinance survey maps.
Oh I could be quite right myself in pointing out uneccessary bad language, which I do not like, although I am no Puritan.
But really, I was also ticked off for typing f*rt recently.
As in the natural passing of internal gas, and is in the OED.

May I say, jigger & dash it all ?

Bob.

For example, I just saw someone say she would change her gender if Ann Coulter was the alpha female. Was she too uncomfortable with saying she would change her sex?

I have a nephew who is presently attending junior school.

During a lesson recently on English, his teacher wrote the following sentence on the blackboard and ask the class students to explain the meaning of the sentence.

"We are going to the bank to catch some fish".

I think they are studying grammer and the meaning of sentences.

Most of the students questioned said it meant a group of people going to the river bank to catch fish.

However, my nephew saw it differently. It seemed to him it meant a group of people going to the bank($) to catch some crooks and so gave this answer.

However, his teacher is not apparently impressed. She thought he was trying to be funny and cocky. So, he was punished to stand in the class.

Yet, is there anything wrong with the sentence? Can a teacher punished a student for this?
