I would honestly have no *time* to rant even if there was something to rant about.
Gah.
Last night i was trying to think of the word "curfew" and all i could think of was "quarantine." Wierd, huh?
Speaking of spelling, I was reminded yesterday of one of my pet peeves.
Me: How do you spell _________?
Hypothetical Teacher (no, not The Hypothetical Teacher, for those who know me): Look it up in the dictionary.
Me: ...but ... if i don't know how to spell it, how can i look it up in the dictionary? I *know* what it *means*. If i don't know how it's spelled, and dicitonaries are only useful if you can actually find the word you're looking for, how can a dictionary help me?
Teacher: Deborah!
Me: What? Honestly! (It doesn't make sense...)
Apparently the teacher was shocked at the idea of a fourth grader quesitoning the long-held belief that dictionaries solved all scholastic dilemmas. Was i being too unconventional? I mean, really.
*shrug*
Oh well.
