formal
the term or terms applied to someone or something.
"‘customers’ was preferred to the original nomenclature ‘passengers’"

It doesn't take genius.

Is this on the proper thread? Could you point me in the direction of the improper one please?

Wot? You sayin' as I doesn't speak proper?

Not in the slightest but something that makes sense would help.

Oh, captain, my captain! These post of yours are some of the most amusing to be read on these boards. More, I say!

It will have to wait I'm afraid. I now have a training session on how to use a classroom.

Oh, OK. Something for us all to look forward to, then.

Enjoy the training session. Things like that are usually of great benefit to all - from struggling novice teachers to old hands that have forgotten.

Yes it was most enlightening. Some chap from a software company showing us in Chinese (so the foreigners didn't understand a word) how to use a new piece of software to evaluate and comment on student speeches.

The fact that apparently all the dept have to do it, it is only on one computer and no we can't have it on own laptops didn't seem to bother anyone else bar the foreign contingent. Nor did the fact that when there are no classes scheduled for the rooms they are locked and teachers don't have keys so even if we wanted to comply we can't.

That was forty minutes of my time I will never get back.

So more of a presentation then, than a proper teacher-training session?

Pity...

It wasn't even that.

More pity, then.

"Original British Accent"

Do we know how Boudicca and Calgactus spoke ?

Presumably something related to modern Welsh, however distantly.
