Bler! Stop showing off with the Latin already. Haven't you heard it's dead?

On the plus side, my passport will arrive tomorrow. Maybe I should go without you :P

I think you will find it is Greek :)

Blah blah blah.

Ahh, you have used it incorrectly. Here is the definition:

curriculum
// (say kuh'rikyuhluhm)
noun (plural curriculums or curricula // (say kuh'rikyuhluh))
1. the aggregate of courses of study given in a school, college, university, etc.
2. the regular or a particular course of study in a school, college, etc. [Latin. See CURRICLE]
--curricular, adjective

You have assumed curriculm was plural (item 1) so curricula must be singular but it's not. Traditionally curriculum was singular. Curricula was plural. It's now been replaced with curriculums. But people are getting confused and think curriculum is plural. So everyone sucks.

Your committee is only looking at one course of study (item 2 above) so it would be curriculum or curricle :P

Wow, I really bore myself.

I thought you just meant the delta letter that appeared at the start of your response (when it quoted me) via email, alas not here in the thread for anyone to see..... Hey I bore myself too.

Isn't a curricle a sort of boat?

[dr_mickey_k]

It's all getting a bit odd (the visa situation, not the christening). Now that they're making you do things it's only a matter of time before a student needs to get you to approve something, only to find that you're on the other side of the planet.

In Mumbai. Course coordination is part of the next wave of outsourcing.

Actually it looks like local council reporting is the next wave of outsourcing.
