rockonski says:
i got this for xmas from my mom
rockonski says:
it has big words in it. like "culpable"
rockonski says:
i had to look that one up.
camillo says:
ha
rockonski says:
and i thought, i was part of the 5% - i dunno man
camillo says:
i use culpable all the time
rockonski says:
that dude diamond, he knows alot and has big words to back it up.
camillo says:
the thing is when you take as many english courses as i took
camillo says:
you get tired of looking up words
rockonski says:
ha
camillo says:
and just glean the meaning through context
camillo says:
and end up using them even though you don't fully know what they mean
camillo says:
like i'd look em up after i realized i'd used it in a paper
rockonski says:
haha
rockonski says:
i thought culpable was like capable
rockonski says:
and then i thought to myself: just make sure.
camillo says:
ha
rockonski says:
glad i did.
camillo says:
that's when i realized you can get away with anything
camillo says:
once you write it stylishly enough
rockonski says:
ha
camillo says:
cause they're grading on a curve
rockonski says:
they're skimming too
camillo says:
and someone in the class is still writing sentences like 'i think the author is trying to say...'
