In the continuing series: "How Far South Do I Live?" we report on a First Grade teacher introducing the "wh" questions words to her class (who, what, where, when, how, why). She has each word written on a flashcard and asks the class to repeat the word after her then create a sentence with that word. For example, when shown the flashcard "why," a student volunteered, "Why are we at school?"
Correct.
When shown the flashcard "when," a student volunteered, "Did you win the game?"
"Well," replied the teacher, "that is one meaning for /wIn/. We are talking about the other kind of /wIn/."
The other kind of /wIn/? How far south do I live?
