Literally Speaking

1. Read these two short articles:

What People Say Vs. What They Really Mean

IN OTHER WORDS. A satirical look at what people in politics, business, Hollywood and advertising say versus what they really mean.

2. Post your own two examples of what people say versus what they actually mean. Be creative!
        *Sample:
             - What is said: "Excuse me."
             - What is meant: "Get out of the way."
         *You may not repeat any example that a fellow classmate has already used.

3. Respond to at least two of your classmates' comments. Look specifically at humor (satire, puns, irony) and tone (diction choices and attitude towards the subject).
        *Deadline: Friday, September 10th at midnight

4. As I said on the last blog: Anything that you wouldn't want your mother and the principal to hear or read, DON'T post it here. I don't want to read it either.

This is part of your grade. You need to put significant effort into each post in order to impress me with your logic and your knowledge of each topic. Many of you have been getting lazy with your grammar and spelling (check for misspellings, proper punctuation and capitalization, and so forth). no txt tlk pls
