What does ’spam’ mean?
Spam is a word that can be translated as ‘correu no desitjat’. The origin of this word is quite curious. It was invented by the Monty Python, a group of British comedians, in an improvised act.
Here’s the origin of the word, explained by professor David Crystal (transcript).
And if you don’t care about linguistic curiosities, just play the spam game that you can find in the ‘game-of-the-month‘ section!

El llibre que no van llegir els alumnes de 3r d’ ESO…
Entre ahir dilluns i avui dimarts, els dos grups de 3r d’ ESO (A i C) han tingut l’ examen de lectura del llibre ‘A Pair of Ghostly Hands’.
Aquest llibre, d’ un nivell adequat per alumnes de 3r d’ ESO, es va demanar ja a principis d’ avaluació, però a causa del ritme de les classes i del calendari de sortides es va haver d’ endarrerir-ne l’ examen fins després del primer trimestre.
Després d’ haver corregit els controls de lectura, els resultats demostren que ningú va llegir-se’l en la seva totalitat i que, una gran majoria ni tan sols van passar de la primera pàgina.
Molts alumnes però s’ han queixat del nivell del llibre i que és necessari tenir un diccionari al costat per a buscar les paraules que no es coneixen: pràcticament totes. Malgrat aquestes afirmacions, un anàl·lisi de qualsevol pàgina a l’ atzar del llibre demostra que aproximadament dos terços dels verbs que hi apareixen són verbs irregulars, verbs que van haver d’ estudiar a 2n d’ ESO i dels quals s’ han examinat fins a tres vegades durant el primer trimestre de 3r. A més a més, els verbs que no pertanyen a aquest grup són verbs bàsics com ara: look, walk, talk…
