peer agreement (net): +1extracurricular Explanation: Look at the first definition here. (I think you can safely ignore the third) http://wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=extracurricular -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2006-08-07 00:53:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Ah Trudy, you were keeping your cards close to your chest. I was drawn in by the suggestion that it might be something 'obvious'... As it happens, UK usage does not specify that 'extracurricular activities' have to be sporting or non-academic, merely that they should be outside the prescribed curriculum. |
