Even on holiday here in bordeaux, I read through carefully, thinking about the difference between these two, whether I've ever used "proctor" as a verb (I think I might have, or heard it used that way, when I TA'd at UBC, but generally we do use "invigilate" here as well. Interesting post (your gorgeous table runner deserves its own comment, really, but I'm trying to ration holiday blogging time)materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-1215445934378422932012-05-06T11:56:43.008-07:002012-05-06T11:56:43.008-07:00Beautiful flowers! :)

We also took elocution classes and were forced to be competitive, entering contests etc. <br /><br />Of course I now have a weird accent (British, New England, Southern) and my use of language has been shot by adding American colloquialisms.....afraid there's no hope for me now! BUT, when you're heading full gallop toward 70 all that matters is that one can speak, read, and know how to get on a plane to see the world. Right????? LOL!!!<br /><br />Love the rhodies - I have similar pink ones bit they're a bit puny this year - my darker pink in the back garden are gorgeous though - more shade there.<br /><br />Happy weekend, MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-25238056493348322822012-05-04T16:27:23.548-07:002012-05-04T16:27:23.548-07:00Happy Pink Saturday!
