Today's word on journalism

Tuesday, March 4, 2008

Grammatically Speaking:

"We owe much to our mother tongue. It is through speech and writing that we understand each other and can attend to our needs and differences. If we don't respect and honor the rules of English, we lose our ability to communicate clearly and well. In short, we invite mayhem, misery, madness, and inevitably even more bad things that start with letters other than M."

--Martha Brockenbrough, grammarian and founder, National Grammar Day

Mesopotamia exhibit at the USU museum of anthropology

January 16, 2008 | The Saturday activity series at Utah State University's Museum of Anthropology continues this weekend, with sessions that teach guests about Mesopotamian creation stories and writing.

USU students and members of the public are invited to drop in any time during the museum's 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday hours. Adults and children will be able to learn about the area that has been called the "cradle of civilization" in the area of modern Iraq. This culture forms the roots of many modern religions and writing styles.

The USU Museum of Anthropology is on the USU campus in the south turret of the historic Old Main building, room 252. Free parking is available in the adjacent lot, south of the building. For more information on this event, call museum coordinator Sara Lundberg at (435) 797-7545 or visit the museum Web site (www.usu.edu/anthro/museum/).
