By the way, a public school in the UK is what Americans call a private school, and a private school is a public school. I do not know any conceivable reason why this is.

And it galls me to admit it, but the US naming system really does make the most sense.
Private = public. Public = comprehensive.
Cue jokes about Lee being snobby and possibly gay. Etc etc, and we're done.
(And I thought UM's joke was fairly good, but I didn't want to seem uncool, so I ignored it.)

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Why must people constantly pick on every little mistake I make, while people like Jason spend their lives masturbating over English dictionaries and laughing?

"All media channels are abuzz with thoughts and commentary on the late President's passing. In memoriam, even some of the most remote and obscure internet pages have put his name as the title, atop one of their unrelated muti-page threads of random gibberish and bizarre interplays generated by fanboys. Every American mourns.. in their own way. Good night."

I suppose I could demonstrate my advanced intellect and superior education here if I wanted. . . but how? Lengthily researched posts with footnotes? Omey's got those covered. By correcting everyone else's spelling and grammar? Nix that! I don't have anything to prove. After seven years I imagine some of you know me and (occasionally) even like me; some of you may think I'm stupid but on the whole I don't really care.
Incidentally, last time I looked the school I went to was now charging about six grand (curse this NZ keboard with no pound sign, yes I know I could get it from character map but I can't be arsed) per term - $18,000 US. That's just absurd. Close to $60,000 a year?!

I went to a school where the only requirement was to not display your crack and/or cocaine out in public.
As such, I recieved an education as strong as Urkel's grip on cool. (Before he became Stephan. Also, remember Judy? She's a porn performer these days. Thick booty, thaswamsayin)
Anyway, I am not smart.
