Hokudai/Cast 50: Sympathy for SSC

Hokudai/Cast 50 has a good song by SSC (Seattle Standard Cafe) and Word/Play using both antonyms and synonyms. We have a very short interview about using Skype for classes and that's all, folks. Short, sweet, and full of empathy and sympathy (other words in Word/Play).

Words on Word/Play are: synonym, antonym, sympathy, antipathy, apathy, and empathy. ~pathy comes from 'pathos' meaning emotion or feeling. If you know the meanings of sym (same), anti (against), a (nothing), and em (strong), you can guess what these words mean. It's an easy way to improve your vocabulary.
