“And now I have two in my group! It is no longer singular! But it is still feminine.” Amelia
“But is it nominative?” Me
“It depends. If I said, 'I will go scold my group,' it would not be nominative.” Amelia
“Right. It would be a direct object, because it gets the benefit of your scolding.” Me
“Which would be accusative.” Amelia
“I think so.” Me
“In fact, it would be accusative in two senses.” Amelia

I guess scolding your group is an accusatory idea whether you use the accusative or not :-)
In helping Sarah and Amelia with physics this morning we had vectors turn into "winged vector serpents." Seeing as vectors have a head and a tail it naturally followed that they must have wings and therefore be a serpent! :-)
