Personally, I don‘t know why we teach kids to use “context clues” instead of a dictionary. It never works except for the in the obvious examples concocted for worksheets.

For example, today I leaned, despite DECADES of context clues from y‘all Christians, that “manger” does NOT mean “barn.”

CaitZ I still equate manger with barn. I think it comes from childhood when hay and animals meant barn and farm. 5y
Yossarian @CaitZ Also, they keep saying he was “born in a manger” or that it‘s a “manger scene.” But in this picture, none of the animals are nearly big enough to eat out of the “manger,” even if it were filled with food instead of a baby. 5y
