Me [picking up a plant that Student 1 brought into class]: “What kind of plant is this?”
Student 1: “I think it’s ‘Akila’.”
Me: “Is it native? It might be ‘Ākia”
Student: “Oh! That might be it. It’s so cute; I named him ‘Bonhomie’.”
Me: ???
Student [googling the word for me]: “It’s an SAT [vocabulary] word!” (4/23/18)
