 Posted: 10/05/04 - 14:12 Post subject: Language Exercise
In Cultural Geography we're discussing linguistic culture. Our exercise yesterday was to come up with three words (from our life span) that are no longer in fashion (or very rarely used) and three new words. We also had to tell the meaning.
Let's make ourselves a list. No, you aren't doing my homework.
