-“‘Helicopter’ does not come from ‘heli’ and ‘copter,’ but from ‘helico’ (from Greek ‘helix’ meaning “spiral”) plus ‘pter’ (from Greek ‘pteron’ meaning “wing”).”
-“Like in ‘pterodactyl’?”
-“Girl, exactly.”
Heyo, Augie! We open on Sunday for J-term! We have very limited hours for J-term only, so please take a look at our schedule and book early. Augie.myWCOnline.com
Here is our write-up for our Word of the Year 2023: docs.google.com/document/d/1…
We chose 🍉, and the English and Journalism faculty had a tie between AI and Barbenheimer. #woty23
BIG NEWS!! The writing tutors have deliberated and chosen 🍉 as our Word of the Year for 2023. The faculty of @AugieEnglish had a tie this year between AI and Barbenheimer. Justification forthcoming, as we have finals to take. Now we pass it to
@bgzimmer @americandialect #WOTY23
We chose from 40+ submissions ranging from gyatt to menty b to touch grass. Delulu and “in my __ era” were also finalists.
The faculty of @AugieEnglish had four finalists: Barbenheimer, AI, 🍉, and hallucinate. And we both seriously considered many Taylor-Swift-related terms.
We have chosen our Word of the Year for 2023! While we wait for the olds in the @AugieEnglish faculty to make their decision, we’ll keep ours a secret. But tomorrow night we’ll let y’all know what we chose.
Meh. The tutors will be voting on our choice next Monday. We’re the only group of youth to do this, so far as we know. Stay tuned to see what we decide, and feel free to offer your submissions! We’ll consider every submission we get.
Augie freshmen! Y’all have a writing exam coming up next Wednesday. Come to our cram session on Monday evening to have all of your questions answered.
Severe weather approaching. If you have an appointment tonight, you can always stay where you are and make your appointment online.
