I would like to publicly apologize for my lack of blogging this year. It has been forever, but fear not little cherubs! I never forgot you, I was just preoccupied with the HSC year. Nonetheless, tomorrow! I swear to you (in my own blood) that I will update!
So to keep you slightly interested for tomorrow here is some wonderfully useless information from the book I have started reading "Common Phrases and Where They Come From" by Myron Korach.
"Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known by most of us as Mark Twain, took his name from the idiom 'mark twain', a command 'barked out' by Mississippi riverboat captains to their boatsmen. It was a request to mark the river's depth as they travelled upstream in uncharted waters" (page 7).
Will write tomorrow! (and more regularly)
Shay
