I was just certain that Raffles was going to point out that the Latin root of semester means "six months," so the concept of a "spring semester" is fundamentally flawed, because spring doesn't last for six months no matter where you live. Although I'm somewhat disappointed, I recognize that this is prescriptivism taken to an unrealistic extreme, so perhaps I should hold Raffles in higher regard for not doing such a thing, regardles of how tempted she may have been. :bleh:
