SPWUT…The Canadian Way

Michael Hayes, Co-ordinator/Professor, Part-time Studies, SAT & Media & Design

Ongoing reliance on the Internet and e-mail as a major means of communication has seen a very real and very alarming erosion of spelling and word usage skills.  Worse, the proliferation of the American mass media available 24/7 to Canadians has left our nation confused when it comes to spelling words and choosing the proper words to use.  Is there even a proper way?  He.. double hockey sticks there is! We owe it to ourselves and our students to know and follow the Canadian way.  In this workshop, you will “test” your spelling and word usage skills.  You will discover practical tips and resources that will help you spell and use words the Canadian way!
