Re: Caboose?

'Caboose' I can understand, 'barge'--well maybe, but 'mule' and 'canal'!
There are (or should be) limits beyond which we simply can't pander to
student ignorance.

I have lots of immigrant students. I gave a problem Friday with the word
"colonize" in it. Three students asked me what it meant; all were
relatively new to English.
