When I read your comment, I couldn't resist trying. I wrote down all but one off the top of my head. Why have I never heard of Nunavut? Did it used to be called soemthing else?

I certainly noticed that, because I used to watch movies so much and haven't in the last ten years since the kids arrived. I don't think its neccessarily because the movies are not as good these days (like I would know), but it takes quite a few years for any movie to achieve "classic" status. How well a film holds up over time is important.

Ah! Leave it to me to say Chinese-speaker when there are two Chinese languages (hits head). My daughter is studying Mandarin.

I had considered both spellings, and went with the one a non-Chinese speaker would more likely try to pronounce. Someone who speaks Chinese would recognize the attempt!

Wow, I had read the story elsewhere, but I got the impression that the students were older, like a high school shop clas. These kids are young!
