That spelling comes from the French colonial era, which I guess is the same thing for the Americas. Does this mean that the wizard schools are post-colonial ? Am I putting more thought into this than they did?

From what I can find Ouagadougou doesn't have any link with magic, which the other foreign language words have. It feels very :effort:.

Y’all are arguing about the etymology of a place named flippantly by someone who thought the only character of Asian descent should be named Cho Chang.

I believe Greek has it but I don't remember off the top of my head if and when we ever learned it formally or just instinct. And I recall learning about order of stuff for German, but that was ZAO, Zeit, Art, Ort (time, means, place) for things like "I will go tomorrow by bus to work" or something, rather than adjectives themselves.

It's for sentence order, it would actually properly be "tomorrow I go by bus to work" or "Morgen fahre ich mit dem Bus zur Arbeit" with morgen being Zeit, mit dem Bus being Art, and zu der Arbeit for Platz. It's also for more than German, and even applies in English sometimes! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time%96manner%96place

It's also a misunderstanding of Sanderson's soft-hard magic continuum, which was never meant for any of this, but maybe I only think that because I refuse to read it thoroughly. Offhand it looks like another STEMlord is trying to use familiar frameworks for media criticism without ever wondering why no one's ever thought of that before, sort of like your grandparents watching your favorite comedy TV and laughing at the wrong parts, but I feel like that kind of person would know a silly idea once they saw it on a graph in front of them. Like whenever I finally manage to put an idea into words and realize it's really stupid.

I used to drink at the same poo poo bar as Sanderson in the mid aughts to 2011 or so, and I promise you it’s not being stretched further than he normally speaks of himself and literature as a whole.

You’re right, I’m wrong. A different author was the person I’m thinking of. I don’t read fantasy, wasn’t sober at the time, and didn’t have a mutual respect for this guy so I always mix them up.

In Sharknado 4, a sharknado, through a series of improbable occurrences, passes over an oil field, an electric transformer, a farm, and then finally a nuclear power plant to become, in order, a firenado, lightningnado, cownado, and finally, nukenado.

That’s not even bringing up the timenado in Sharknado 6.

But do they use the watch/warning system for all of these nados?

yeah speaking from the perspective of someone who teaches gen-ed classes, most college students these days start with business or marketing or something like that, and not because they're necessarily coming from an extremely wealthy background. it's just seen as the safe choice that won't offend any parents. hell, this is even MORE so for students from poorer families or are the first generation to go to college, because they're focused on making money to support the people in their lives.

whether or not these students survive in a business world that rewards nepotism and already having wads of money to throw around is a different story

ime having to work significantly with the 'business' parts of a corporation in the past, folks who have business+a real major are more able to hold their own in conversing with the folks who get there by nepotism, and making those folks comfortable offers job security.
