Three mean and
nasties…
Three mean and
nasties…
If you continue be so mumpsimus as to keep saying “I didn’t went” in
class, I’ll give you a zero on your next report card.
Agreeing with that old idea that death penalty is effective is just so
wrong... it’s absolutely mumpsimus.
Al is so mumpsimus in his insistence that Grammar Translation is the
still best methodology. What an old man he is!
Three mean and
nasties…“Winter is coming...”, thought Al as he curled up erinaceously under the
duvet.
Due to the strange diet of bread and milk that the doctor had put him
on, Al ate erinaceously throughout the winter.
The spiky little creature walked erinaceously through the garden
towards the left-over cat food.
Three mean and
nasties…
On that nudiustertian afternoon, Al decided that drinking a litre of whiskey
would be a good idea, which explained the hangover he still had 48 hours
later.
I'd ordered the massage gel on-line for £48 that nudiustertian morning and
was not expecting it to arrive until two days later.
The nudiustertian fashion in San Isidro is wearing bright fluorescent colours
and calling your male friends “Papi”.
http://corpus.byu.edu/coca/
1. morphology
a) Wash those dishes, Al!
b) discriminate (v.) – indiscriminately (neg. adv.)
c) preamble – establishment – dishonestly
2. a bound morpheme
3. agglutinative
Breaking it down… which is
which?
A little help from your cyber friends…

Get your students to look at
some nudiustertian words… and
invent some of their own.
