Higher Learning

Recently, I've been working with one professor to map content for a forthcoming custom book. Wherever nothing matched I suggested he indicate as much with the usual acronym we use in the US for "Original Material".

I got back the grid and saw "OM" written all over it. Then, I realized: I'm in India. Back home, it's an acronym. To this prof, it's a word.

He probably thought I was a complete nutcase. Sigh.
