Have you ever read a book where the songs from the movie are turned into dialogue? The book follows the movie pretty closely, but there are moments added & some parts have been changed completely. I loved this book, it is on the top of my list for rereads. Plus Grease 2 is way better than Grease (yes, I said it and I stand by it!!)

I don‘t have the book yet but I thought it would be fun to share the cover for #WeirdWordsWednesday.

This was a reread for me and I loved it just as much as I did originally! I have always thought this was a super cool way of introducing Shakespeare to teens and young adults. Some parts are different from the movie (not sure why) and other parts are screen captured goodness!
Pedantry alert!
Over the last few months I‘ve noticed a linguistic shift that is driving me insane. I first noticed on podcasts (hence the picture), but I‘ve even noticed in work emails (written by educators no less). There seems to be a trend to shorten words. “Priorities” becomes “priors”. “Comparisons” and “Competitions” both become “comps” (which previously was used for “comprehensive exams”). ⬇️
