Murderizing the Langridge Continues

Even into the 4th grade, the Howler manages to murderize the langridge:

Currently, in math, they're working on "eclapsed" time.

I am so curious to find out what, exactly, this entails, I'm off to do 4th grade math.

I'd Like To Buy A...

Hard consonant.

I'm trying to not be a total bitch. I really really really am. But really? REALLY.

The woman from 3 years ago who went batshit crazy on the PTA, who apparently does have a speech impediment...is baaaa-aaaack.

So, she was voted in. And honestly? It's like I have ADHD. I'm over the PTA. I rather like being a slacker and am happy that I'm back in the cheap seats.

But I spent an hour of my life listening to this woman mis use and abuse the English language. We had a "mee-in" tonight

And she uses the wrong word--she pronounces those ones just fine, thankyouverymuch. They're just WRONG. As in, I'm having a coherent thought, and OMG! If you mean "overlook" as in "You need to overlook the fact that I cannot pronounce T's and G's" then please, for my sanity, do not say, "They will oversee the fact that I cannot speak in complete thoughts."

I'm overseeing it, baby. Believe me, I'm overseeing it.
