dabbe @TheSpineView It was one of my favorite things to show my students when we'd start the first grammar unit of the year. I then told them, if I see zero errors in your writing, we won't “do“ grammar. Guess what never happened? 😂 4mo

TheSpineView @dabbe I can imagine! Great story. 4mo

I don‘t have a specific word to share today, but I did see this post from Merriam-Webster this week that I think is worth a share.

A toast to weird, wonderful and interesting words!!! 🍾🍾🍾
Happy Wednesday!

Oxford Dictionary of Philosophy | Simon Blackburn

Probably of limited interest to non-French people, but the baccalaureate philosophy exam started at 8 this morning, and the essay questions are now out:

Vocational stream
Is Nature hostile to Man
Is the artist master of their own work

Academic stream
Can science satisfy our need for truth
Does the State owe us anything

Inspired or not?

Thinking of all those teenagers sweating on their exam papers in many different parts of the world...

Kitta As a scientist, I‘m definitely interested in these questions! I feel that science can give us the answers and can tell us the truth, but that maybe we won‘t reach them in our lifetimes and we‘ll have to wait for the next generation to understand. It‘s a frustrating reality that progress can be slow. 10mo

IuliaC These are very relevant questions 10mo

SaunteringVaguelyDownwards "Is the artist master of their own work?" is taking all sorts of new nuance with AI! 10mo

Dilara @Kitta Slow and every new discovery or insight brings about new questions! It's neverending... 10mo

Dilara @IuliaC Definitely! 10mo

Dilara @SaunteringVaguelyDownwards Oh, I hadn't thought of that 😁 10mo

Dilara For whoever is interested, Le Monde newspaper published essay examples for some of these questions: https://www.lemonde.fr/campus/live/2024/06/18/en-direct-bac-philo-2024-un-enseig... 10mo
