Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for March 21, 2014

first comment

Didn’t it use to be Femme Fatality?

@ afficionadoIt’s interesting how things don’t change.

Back in the Middle Ages, when most people were illiterate, grammar (from Latin grammatica, in turn from Greek γραμματική) was a mysterious thing. In deed Middle English ‘gramarye’ or Old French ‘gramaire’ became liked with magic and what “clerkes finden writen in her books” could just as easily be an evil spell as a religious text.

Even today people will look at, say, a spelling divergent from their norm and call it a mistake in grammar. If it’s spelling, it’s orthography.

Oh, and by the way ‘Iliad’ is the normal spelling

Lol @richardelguru goes into great but immense detail, then says that he (pierce) spelt it right, after a history when one of us could have said it right away, but he made the word much more interesting.

Hey guys! Remember that comic strip from 2007 where Nate is at a yard cell and the find a picture of a dog playing poker, and he believes there is something is behind it. The picture is now on ebay! Let us see if Nate was right about something being there!

Book buddy smackdown!Endovelicus, you have a smackdown coming as well.

The question is how did Pierce know about this painting 7 years ago? If anyone has an answer, please reply.

I see now.

The adventures of Bippity Bunny. Wow!

Your Well Come.

The Illiad? That’s hefty reading. And intense. I wonder if his mother knows what’s in that book O_o

didn’t nate teach him texas hold em

Nate’s not reading BETHANY???!!

Unless that book’s in German, I think Nate is slacking.

The grammar and spelling police are very active today.

According to the history of Big Nate, Peter is smarter than Gina, who is smarter than Francis, who is smarter than Artur, who is smarter than Jenny, who is smarter than Chad, who is smarter than Marcus, who is smarter than Paige, who is smarter than Teddy, who is smarter than Nate, who is smarter than Randy, who is than Nick.

Randy Bettancourt and Nick Blonsky!

I suspect both of them can spell “respect.”

@bignate

Ohhhhhhh

Sry I posted that twice. There must be some bug with the comments.

Actually, I am Canadian.

Play nice now………….

It means that English is a second language to somebody

Whoa! The Iliad is over 500 pages long! Peter sure can read!

look in “big Nate Flips Out”

can’t peter and nate switch spots in grades

In the last panel when Peter says “was” there is no “h”. Every time Peter says the letter “s” it comes out as “sh”

Head canon: Peter is reading The Iliad in the original greek.
