When you've been struggling to write for two days and the cat comes back. Started again but on a roll. Also he sleeps weird. Snores too. #pgceprimary #pgce #scholarcat #howl #cats_of_instagram #catsofinstagram #blackcat #howl #catsleeping https://www.instagram.com/p/BsON9sTgxHcRvEh3qkeAgLh6N_4ZRDIUdYc4pk0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=znk7z0hfz3xs

Happy Doodles is very invested in Eric Foner's "Reconstruction," as we all can see. #scholarcat #catsofinstagram #happydoodles #gradschool #reading

scholarcat answered your question:Ask Me Monday

What are your sources for the Word of the Day? Please share! I’m a high school English teacher who uses etymology in the classroom.

I use a couple of different sources, actually. Sometimes I look up Words in my English-Greek dictionary (published in 1910, one of my favorite possessions), sometimes I use words I come across in my translations for class, in which case I use my Liddell & Scott Greek dictionary (or Cassell's for Latin) for the translation, but most often I use the English-Greek (or English-Latin) look-up on Perseus, since its database is the best for searching for portions of words (if I, for instance, want a Greek word for an English word that begins with "aqu") 

To check if words that sound familiar have the etymological connections to English that I suspect, I generally employ the Online Etymology Dictionary, as simple as that sounds.
