Latin Lesson from 4H

This weekend, my daughters participated in a 4H dog showing event, and one thing which caused some confusion is that there are "beginner" classes and "novice" classes--the later not being for someone novum or "new," but rather for a fairly advanced intermediate stage.

I think I'm going to gently suggest that the intermediate classes not be labeled as "novice" anymore.....  :^)

BTW, daughter #2 got reserve grand champion in her beginner's group, missing grand champion by just 2 points--she was at 174, the winner was at 175.  Not to brag or anything, but....the dog's early training was by a certain then-out-of-work quality engineer.  :^)
