Learning Words And Creating Some

There's a story once I wrote about a little girl who sold words she made up in a small town full of people who speak different languages. She sold so much that the people eventually came to an understanding and the girl got rich. Her name's Merriam by the way and she's got a secret to share...



So selling new words today is a dead business. But that doesn't mean the fun of it has also died.

Difficult words are always a nuisance, which is why little Merriam was incarcerated years later but was eventually venerated as a saint by a cult full of bibliophiles. Now, now... Bibliophiles? What's that? Oh, we'll come to that. Well, the thing is most words are made up of three to four basic languages namely Greek, Latin, German and French. But mostly, the basic words are from the prime languages which are Greek and Latin.

Well, as you see, Merriam's a bright, influential child, and she found that by mixing these basic words can create new words that everyone can use. Anyway, I need you to study the following to get my drift.

Take note that these are merely notes and not to be considered as a comprehensive resource. If you want, you can also look for other resources. We will be re-discussing them soon so read them and study them. thank you...

So there. I hope it's okay. You know I am no expert in web editing.

At least, I can proudly say that I am one of the early teachers to find ways using the internet as an offshoot to teaching directly in a classroom. As you noticed, our country often has typhoons and a lot of uncalled for celebrations that classes are most often suspended.

So if you are one of the few students who truly care for your... *ehem*... education, you'll be wise enough to come here. For what if I decided to include some parts here for the exams? God knows. And besides, I also care for a little appreciation for my efforts. Tch.

See you then.
