I think I put an e in and I shouldn't have. It should read niggly
I do know the etymology of the other word. I don't use it anymore (but I understand what you are saying). I remember talking about it in a class I was teaching years ago. I brought it up to students because I had heard of another Professor being fired for using it (unfair, I know).
It's the way of the world, though.....
A few of my colleagues got in trouble for language use in the classroom, which is about when I decided teaching wasn't for me. I used to use a lot of targeted material (intro English and Research classes) that used heavy language. I didn't want to censor the material I was using, or get called into an office to be scolded.

Well, idk. You are right (I just looked it up - the etymology). It doesn't sound like the other word.....so I'm guessing in public I wouldn't be called out for it.
Interesting. I'm taking that under advisement :)
I think that being called out for it would depend more on the situation and location, rather than the actual definition.
plus, even though it means cheap, there's also the fact that neg means negative, black, [nec - death], negro is black in all of hte romantic languages, etc

One of my students said, There you go again, using the big words
when I said a not really big word: Optimal.
(sigh.....this was a college student)

I don't have a dog in this debate but as a point of information my father was a councilman and was on record at a meeting using 'niggly' to describe a village employee being lazy.

It was less than 2 weeks until my dad was recalled from the council for using racist language...and that was 25 years ago.

FYI, my dad IS a huge racist and I know exactly why he uses that word. He has used it at me enough times. It makes me cringe.

That said, I also believe intent of the use is a major factor. If you say that you didn't intend it as a racial slur I totally believe you.

Hit finder so quiet. :(

I wonder if Wal-Mart put the back to school items on clearance yet.
I wait for Target (for us, their clearance won't start until Sept 17 or so). Last year, I picked up a couple of BOXES of notebooks at 90% off and donated them to her school (each one was 7cents). Her advisor already emailed and asked me if I can find them again

I almost did this, seeing that it has green TO, but then I looked at the rejection ratings...Not sure HOW it is green?

Yes! I'm needing to pick up some notebooks and binders for my college classes that start Wednesday. They're all online so I'm trying to make sure I'm organized. I think I can easily get unorganized with online classes lol

yesss, it's super easy. I suggest using OneNote for research papers, it makes it SO MUCH easier to keep track of different sources.
