At my high school one of the bathroom signs said "boy's room". Who is Boy?

There is a street in my city called Edgar Terrace or Edger Terrace. The street only has two signs, so I don't know which spelling is correct.

Default I operate a machine called language ...

From the local 'paper today:


Caption: ... educational assistant at elementary school, dawns a Hogwarts uniform from the "Harry Potter" series ...


"The annual event is traditionally held on Theordor Geisel's birthday, March 2, who is better know as the beloved children's author Dr. Seuss." (Amazing that March 2 has usurped the good doctor's identity. There's a lot of that going on these days. Does Mrs. Geisel know, one wonders?)


Caption: ... students made their own masks in the theme of the children's book "A Case of the Bad Stripes" ... (Well, no. It's "A Bad Case of Stripes")


(& Hogwarts might need to be Hogwarts' - a quibble, to be sure.)


& what was this all in aid of? Glad you asked. It's celebrating the - wait for it -


Elementary (school) Literacy Parade! Pass in review, friends, pass in review.

Several years ago, a community weekly in my neck of the woods published an article whose title was Literarcy Volunteers Needed.
