Well, I just posted my kindergarden report cards, so my last name is out there.
Thomas is quite an unusual little student. He does a great deal of thinking and seems to be concerned about things way beyond the scope of a five year old. He is a very intelligent little boy & does very good work.

And a different card:
Thomas is quite a remarkable little student. He doesn't make a "big noise" but we all know he is here. He is most self sufficient and able to solve his ??? problems. Thomas ??? in the 99th percentile of his class on his Readiness test.

Scary how well those evaluations describe me.
If anyone could help me read the words I can't figure out, that would be great.
but I actually have a lot of trouble with its and it's because I just remember that there is something wrong with them.
That sorta' describes me, but I just hate being wrong so I put extra thought into selecting the right one. The way I remember is that
its
is a possessive pronoun like his or theirs, and
it's
is therefore the contraction of "it is."
And read metric fuckloads of Avengers fic.
Did you read Holli's Steve versus the Hipsters fic?
He is most self sufficient and able to solve his [own] problems. Thomas [ranked] in the 99th percentile of his class on his Readiness test.
I need to see these Malkovich ads. I think creepy is a hobby for him.
I see all kinds of stuff in fic especially
Oh, the homonyms. I see peek/peak confusion a lot. And words that aren't quite homonyms, but close enough to make me wonder if the writer is using voice recognition software and not really editing.
I once read the term "gestational fortitude" instead of "intestinal fortitude" in a fanfic
That stuff is the best. Too damn funny.
In crazy family news, my cousin, who is four years younger than me (37) is now a grandmother. She was a mom at 16. Five kids. *shudder*

I'm kidless at 47, and I shudder as well.
I've seen "taken for granite" too many times.
Jesse, if it's not too personal, what size is that dress? It's gorgeous! I am a 10. If it would fit, and it's not too dear, I would be interested, if you could wait until we get our state refund.
I had a prof -- an ENGLISH prof!! -- who consistently mispronounced prowess "prowness." Drove me batshit, and I finally corrected him, and he told me I was wrong. Same prof who accused me of plagiarizing because a sophomore "couldn't write such a sophisticated analysis."
I DESPISED him.
"Taunt" stomachs...or "pull it taunt"...I've encountered those and it's verra annoying.
And I will never forget how appalled I was when I read that Anita Blake was wearing a "midrift" baring shirt in the first book -- several times. GRRR.
