    EXCELLENT! I didn't see those connections, gonna check the links after I post this. Learning math on Dec 25! I love how precisely these words fit the song, right down to the syllables. Genius! Merry Xmas Greg!

      Thanks so much for the thought!! I am pretty good with syllables - it's why I think I have trouble with rap, the stress and feel is so different. Glad the resource has proved useful too - makes it all worthwhile! (The Venn thing was actually shown to me by a colleague, and apparently EdRealist uses it too. Neat stuff.) Merry Christmas!

    Love the Venn way, I used to calculate using that idea, but not the visual, it adds so many layers to understanding. Brilliant!
