COVID19 and the English and Spanish languages: a metaphor for our times

Consonant sounds such as the English voiceless stops p, t, and k at the beginning of words (e.g., “pat,” “top,” “kind”) are aspirated because they are pronounced with an accompanying forceful expulsion of air, similarly to the sound that occurs when we aspirate the sound has in English “hat.”

Dear Mr. President- https://dearmrpresident.org/

Which is the real state and how could you fumble this one after the Superbowl?

Why did you congratulate KC Chiefs for representing the state of Kansas, when they really play in Missouri? Can you tell the difference on an American map of the USA?

While there is a Kansas City, Kansas, the Chiefs play in the far larger Kansas City, Missouri. Arrowhead Stadium is about 7 miles from the Kansas-Missouri border.

What follows is a basic curriculum in life that an adolescent should know before reaching adulthood. There will probably be other skills you can add to this list, so please do it.

USA voters cast their ballots for 435 House seats, 35 Senate spots, Governors along with a whole lot of state, local offices and issues. While folks are focused only with the US House and The Senate, the big story may be #USA Governors. @TheDemocrats may take a bunch of states, with serious implications for 2020 and the all-important issue of redistricting.

American Education

The US' top official overseeing student loans has now resigned, citing #WhiteHouse hostility to protecting borrowers. The US report cards for schools and school districts have been a sore source of controversy, which will only grow when the nation starts receiving overall grades this fall.

Let's create an opportunity with an eye toward training folks to solve real-world problems in hopes to spread these ideas.
