Hmmm. Did I make it?

But I knew what adduced meant! I haven’t got to the R’s yet. :)

I don’t know why we don’t teach our kids where words come from rather than wrought memorization. I had never before heard the word ‘adduced’ but immediately knew what it meant thanks to getting ready for the GRE. Just look at the words you know by a little knowledge of old world roots and suffixes.

Sounds great, what could possibly go wrong? While you’re at it, go ahead and get started on the email to Drew for a future Funbag when it all goes horribly wrong.

The word necessary* blows my mind every single time I try to spell it. Without fail. I end up with about 14 extra letters.

When I was a kid, I stared at eclipses all the time and I turned out just fine.

It’s 25 minutes a day, a great workout, and they have a proxy that does a low impact version to get you up to speed. I highly recommend it (even to myself, as I’ve gained a few of those back :). If nothing else, a…

Gibbons does not walk like a healthy man. Is he alright?

As social media evolved I thought it would go a long way in holding people accountable for their words. You know, the ability to be wrong, account for it, learn from it, and strive to be better. You could no longer just say it was taken out of context, etc. Boy was I wrong.

Come on kinja, I did nothing but hit reply, type some text, and hit publish. Why the double?
