from No Agenda Homeschool on facebook.
(And look--they made "Homeschool" a compound word! I guess I'm not the only one who thinks that is logical. What does it say about homeschool parents that we decide when we can override Websters. Wait a minute. . . (googling) hey, it looks like homeschool IS an acceptable spelling, and according to Merriam-Webster, the preferred spelling! And, hey, they say the first known use of "homeschool" was in 1980--it's literally a word created for my generation! So I guess it's just the spell-check on DH's touchpad that is behind the times.
In briefly looking that up, my eye caught the online dictionary's suggestions for words that rhyme with HOMESCHOOL: ampoule, babul, befool, carpool, cesspool, Dame school, faldstool, gene pool, hangul, Kabul, misrule, old-school, self-rule, tomfool, uncool, whirlpool. That's just a sampling of the words, but doesn't it read like a poem in itself?!)
Ah, a little word-nerd fun on a Saturday morning. : )
Yes! I am validated! Thanks :)
