-“‘Helicopter’ does not come from ‘heli’ and ‘copter,’ but from ‘helico’ (from Greek ‘helix’ meaning “spiral”) plus ‘pter’ (from Greek ‘pteron’ meaning “wing”).”
-“Like in ‘pterodactyl’?”
-“Girl, exactly.”

“Proper numbers, subjunctive scaling and declarative fractions” sound like they could make for a fun and humorous fiction-writing prompt.
@AugieWriting, please make this happen. Thank you. 🙂

“When I begin to doubt my ability to work the word, I simply read another writer and know I have nothing to worry about. My contest is only with myself, to do it right, with power, and force, and delight, and gamble.”

Drs Rude and Gerling in Tampa grading AP exams for the English Language test. Hard work, but we always learn a ton every year about the writing skills of our soon-to-freshmen and about rhet/comp pedagogy. (The beautiful weather is nice, too!)

On the corner of Franklin & Erie Streets in Chicago, IL, with Dale Hoiberg ‘71. This is where it all began in 1860 when Augustana was first established! Such a wonderful morning reflecting on the rich history of @AugustanaSD. @AugieAlumni – at Mount Prospect, IL

ONE OF THE DEFINITIONS OF 'LITERALLY' IS "IN EFFECT, VIRTUALLY—USED IN AN EXAGGERATED WAY TO EMPHASIZE A STATEMENT OR DESCRIPTION." SOME PEOPLE GET MAD IF YOU USE IT THIS WAY BECAUSE IT ISN'T THE WORD'S PRIMARY MEANING, BUT THIS SENSE OF 'LITERALLY' HAS BEEN USED FOR 250 YEARS SO

Governor Daugaard's parents were deaf and worked as custodians at @AugustanaSD. It's why he's signing "I love you" in his statue.
Augustana is one of about a dozen four-year schools in the country with a nationally accredited sign language interpreting program.
This day in 2011: Dennis Daugaard, lieutenant governor and Dell Rapids attorney and non-profit executive, is sworn in as 32nd Governor of South Dakota. #SDHistory #TrailOfGovs
