What does it mean to be stuck between a rock and a hard place? "Between a rock and a hard place" is an English idiom that means you are in a difficult situation with no easy way out. This expression actually comes from Homer's "Odyssey". It comes from the story "Scylla and Charybdis", which we are reading today in class.
We continued our reading of Homer's "Odyssey" today. We read the adventures involving "The Sirens" (p.617-620) and "Scylla and Charybdis" (p621-624).
We also talked about some common mistakes that people make when writing. Today, in the day of text messages and the Internet, there are many common mistakes, such as substituting the letter "u" for the word "you" or forgetting to capitalize words or use correct punctuation.
To emphasize this point, I shared with the students a funny blog where the author pokes fun of these mistakes:
