Word of the Day - Salutary Neglect

Today my master teacher at Atascadero High School shared a non-in-the-textbook expression with his 10th-grade world history classes to which I have never before been exposed: Salutary Neglect
This act of effective teaching on the part of my master teacher is in accordance with one element of my personal teaching philosophy: use scholarly language and terminology that is useful and appropriate but not to be found in the core curriculum or textbook.

Word of the Day - Ruction

This evening while reading an article in The Economist I encountered the word "ruction" which forced me to inquire as to its meaning which the Oxford Dictionary defines as follows:

"A disturbance or quarrel." "Unpleasant reactions to or complaints about something."

Word of the Day - Zorch

Today I encountered "zorching" for the very very first time HERE and there is more about it HERE.
Note: please ignore the first definition listed on UrbanDictionary for this word.
