Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I've never graded SAT essays, but I've graded placement tests before. The focus for placement tests is on grammar, organization, and coherence. Not facts and certainly not length.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!

Can anyone else find the recent link to how IQ's have been going up over the past few decades? I am old, and thereby dumb.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Aimée, Allyson, I last read this, and is not good.
Ugh, that really isn't good. Sad.

Memorization of facts to include in an essay for testing purposes seems very pre-modern, to me.
(Tom Scola and dcp show the more measurable skills.)
