Exclave
\’eks-‘klav\ n : a portion of a country separated from the main part and constituting an enclave in respect to the surrounding territory.
When taking math in college (the first time), my professor had what most of the class thought was a British accent and indeed it was. The students who thought she had an English accent on the other hand were wrong. She was in fact British because she had been born and raised in Jersey, an exclave of Great Britain. She educated us that England was in fact an island in the country of Great Britain and that Jersey was part of that great nation as well. Does the term, “you learn something new every day,” come to mind?
About Me
- Kate
- I have spent the last two years doing a myriad of activities that have varied in logistics and content, one of them being my writing...my writing sometimes has a life of its own and most often than not surprises me...one thing that will always remain the same, however, is the emotion and thought that goes into it...it is here for your pleasure..please enjoy at your leisure... To all those that support me either by listening to my pieces over the phone or giving me constructive criticism, I thank you :)
