हिन्दी स्क्रिप्ट, A note about Feb. 26th

(For some reason this thing started typing in Hindi!). Last week we spent most of the class preparing for our quiz that was due on Saturday. We did this by going over exercise 2-12 & 2-14 in Finegan. 2-14 proved to be easy and 2-12 wasn't too difficult, but 2-12 did create some interesting discussions in our small group at the beginning of the class. I think that some of these subjects are easy and interesting to discuss, but since many of us in this class are very knowledgable about the subjects we tend to prolong some of these discussions over many minor details that may or may not matter. This is sort of a pet peeve of mine but I have to accept it now that I am in a graduate program. It's also kind of funny when we find ourselves arguing about words and then we come to find out that both people in the argument are actually saying the exact same thing, but just in different ways. Sometimes the listening aspect of English is even disregarded by those who are proficient at it, haha.
