********PROFESSORS CLASS ***********REQUIREMENTS

l. You are required to speak on the days for which you volunteer--or are volunteered--to speak. This is the same obligation as taking an hourly exam in another class. No excuses, please, and no wimping out!
2. Attendance is mandatory and will reflect on your grade. (See the next section for details.)
3. The notes you take on Monday nights and during class are critical to your understanding the assignments. The notes will also become the rest of your "textbook." BE THERE!
4. Good manners, old fashioned as that sounds, will help all of us. If you must be late for class, don't walk in on a speaker who is making a presentation (unless it's me—I don't mind). Don't whisper or pass notes. That sounds juvenile, but it happens. And it belongs in junior high school.
5. When you speak: NO gum, NO baseball caps.

>>>>>BELOW 5 OF 10 BASIC<<<<
>>>>>>>>>PRINCIPALS<<<<<<<<
1) The fundamental form of any living language is the spoken idiom. The written form is and ought to be a reflection of speech, not the other way around.

2) The NEA was designed to accurately render Modern English, so everything which is represented in normal speech is written, and nothing which is not represented in speech is written. This means no apostrophe, no capital letters, no silent letters, no double letters, and several other unobvious differences with traditional spelling.

3) A word is written in the NEA as it is pronounced in isolation, stressed rather than unstressed. Only the articles, "the" and "a" are written as pronounced unstressed. Words are rendered in what may seem a formal rather than a colloquial manner to avoid regional pronunciations.

4) Any word in English whose meaning is clear and unambiguous when spoken should be clear and unambiguous when written in the NEA.

5) Within each speech group, each speech sound has one letter assigned to represent it, and each letter has only one pronunciation. There is no more of one letter having four, seven, or twelve different pronunciations which must be memorized for each word. The only exceptions to this rule are accomodations which allow the NEA to be used with maximal consistency by different accent groups.

The ground rules are few and simple, and I expect you to abide by them.
