Does it count as breaking her nose if it's her cartilage?
Is the cartilage broken? Or just sorta squashed?
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, and I saw Inside Man. Good times, although I was startled by the end. I mean, that it ended when it did.
Am I going to go to this party tonight? I don't really want to, but feel that I should be more social. Bleh.

No, just saying: if the breaking were coercive, then the term might be accurate. But ita likes hitting things. She was hitting things with someone else who likes hitting things. Totally consentual. It's a hazard.

I can't even.
And then I broke her nose.
You busted her nose for saying octopi? Whoa, that's hardcore prescriptivism there. Right on.
(Cracked cartilage, whatev. She won't be octopiing again any time soon.)

Yes you should, and you should wear your new fabulous, if slightly too big, shoes.

I will totally wear my fabulous and I think not at all too big after all shoes, should I go.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is the cartilage broken?
Apparently.
Sarameg, what a clear and simple way you have of explaining things.
Maybe you could talk to the other instructors. They're having a field day. "ita, tell him what you did!" "I'm not sure what I did." "TELL HIM." "Without a diagnosis, that would be irresponsible." "ita, tell him what everyone thinks you did." "Mumblegrumblemumble." "SHE BROKE A'S NOSE!"
To which the other instructor, with whom I've never really spoken, said "A? Nice A? Beginning instructor A? Defenseless A?" and shakes his head and walks off.
Next time I'm breaking a guy's nose.
