So Awkward it Hurts
This paper hurts my face. I wish I could write the word "awk" all the way across it, but then it would be hard for you to read.

You may say "AHFB, are you sure this isn't an English as a second language student?" I thought the same thing, but I got on facebook and he's not an ESL student [someone I wouldn't make fun of].
Here's what's really ironic: he's a member of the facebook group "If I See Another Group Name With a Grammatical Error, I Will Flip a Shit"

I realize that last paragraph probably signifies that this is a rough draft. Ok, fine. But do you really think that a paper written like this is really going to change any on its way to becoming a final draft?
that makes me feel so much better about my writing
that makes me feel so much better about my students' writing
If someone ever said "in this facet" in everyday conversation with me, I would punch them in the face right then and there.
the comments on this one were hilaaaarious. especially the bird, and go read a book about eating.
I have no idea what that paper was about, and have decided that any intelligible sense of the English language was beaten out of him as a child.
Also, I cannot express how much I really hate unnecessary punctuation in the form of " ". Sometimes, my boss writes " 'Have a great day!' " on the white board. What the fuck are those quotation marks doing there?
Also amusing was the last sentence of what seemed to be the real concluding paragraph. About raising a child that "together they can be proud of in the future."
"Pretty much everything you do now is crap, but one day I'll be proud of you."
I also failed to circle the word "suprisingly"
boy I hate adverbs like that.
oh heyyyy
it's repetitive...not "repetative"
one point for you, anonymous poster
just wanted to point out that "oppositely" is indeed a good word, with attestations listed in the OED ranging from the 1500s to the 1990s.
"independency" made it in there too, but it went out of use a couple hundred years ago.
Are the uses in the oed something like "oppositely charged particles" or as used in the paper?
I didn't think of it being used as above because I was too busy thinking of how ridiculous it sounded.
Thanks for the research ed
"Read a book about eating" is the best thing ever.
