Best phonetic spelling ever

I'm grading quizzes, and one of my students from Saudi Arabia spelled "Alzheimer's" as "Al-Zahimar."

:-)

We spell 'em as we say 'em.

I'm gently amused.

Wicked awesome historic photo

Via Reddit, "Earliest aerial photograph of an American city, titled "Boston, as the Eagle and the Wild Goose See It." Taken from a hot air balloon, 1860. (It's changed a bit.)
