Hehe....nah, don't waste ink and paper. Just learn to be quick on your toes. Oddly, I am very impress with people who can lie on the fly.

I keep telling Max that if he doesn't stop playing with his doodle I'm going to chop it off.

It's not working very well. I don't think he believes me.

@ Ali: hahahah....well, I usually don't threaten my nephew anything I won't carry through. That's why when I start counting, he does what I want him to, quick.

Looking at the names list for a class I will have tomorrow,one student has a name beginning with Nqo... yes, that is N Q O. How the heck do I say that? Whoah.

Lola Bunny · 01-31-2012, 07:50 AM

What I think may be best to do is to call out, "N Q O." When that student raises his/her hand, you ask how to pronounce his/her name. You then phonetically jot down the pronunciation of it and try your bestest to pronounce the name as most correctly as you can. At least that way, you'll show some respect to that student. Once you find out how to pronounce "Nqo," please come back and let us know. I am curious how to pronounce that too.

monster · 01-31-2012, 08:33 AM

zuse the other name. Then ask them how to pronounce the nqo one.

or leave it until last and pretend they're not on your list and ask everyone left to tell you their names.

ZenGum · 01-31-2012, 10:26 PM

Damn, the "q" represents that clicking in the back of the mouth with the toungue sound as used in Southern Africa. The best I could manage was "Nnn-click-obile".

We're using her middle name.

Actually, I always deliberately struggle through the students' names and get coached on pronunciation in the first class. It is a good ice-breaker, and it shows that I'm trying to say their names properly, as they would say them,which shows respect. The students can all laugh at me, provided they are laughing together.

Did anyone see the pilot for Touch? It's a new show on fox with Kiefer Sutherland. If the pilot is any indication I think it will be a good show. If you have TW cable you can watch it on free Primetime on Demand. Here's the gist of it:

Somebody help me here. There's an idiom that's been on the tip of my tongue all day. It's an expression meaning something is shoddy, or rinkydink, or unprofessional. Specifically a business or scenario, like "a real _______ operation." It's not kangaroo court. My brain keeps thinking it has something to do with circuses or monkeys, but I just. can't. reach it.
