C'est chouette!
Just a quick one today, because I must race off to a final exam and have piles and piles of marking still to get through. But there's always time to play!
1. One of my favourite words was recently the Merriam-Webster Word of the Day:
ludic \LOO-dik\ adjective: of, relating to, or characterized by play: playful
According to the lexicographer's notes, "Ludic is ultimately from the Latin noun ludus, which refers to a whole range of fun things — stage shows, games, sports, even jokes."
