<h2>Hello Everyone. Here is a different exercise. I would like everyone to add to the definitions below. This is a wiki, so when you add/edit someone's definitions, your next text will be there. It's sort of like a Word document that we are all working on together. Here are the rules. NO DICTIONARIES! NO INTERNET! ONLY OUR COLLECTIVE BRAINS. (You're on your honor here.) On Tuesday, we'll check the answers in class. I've added just a few ideas on some to get us going. Let's work together to refine these definitions to perfection. When you are ready to edit, just click edit on the right and then SAVE.</h2>
