<p>I don't know about everyone else, but I'm awaiting the story behind this.</p>
<p>I've yet to apply anywhere. I'm going with rolling admission schools, but I did apply for some summer programs, and am dying because of it.</p>
<p>Spontaneous combustion ftw:)</p>
<p>ANYWAY,
I hope everyone gets into at least one school of their choice.</p>
<p>We'll all find out soon enough!</p>
<p>GAHHHHHHHHHHHHH.</p>
<p>Don't be nervous. Seriously. For the next 4 years of your life you CANNOT let nerves get to you. So might as well start practicing and STAY CALM! My tip of advice for you is never be nervous. Always think positively!!
I was panicking last night but then I was like wait. SATs were more nerve-racking than this. Then I calmed down.</p>
<p>@musicallylatin: My username is TheGrammarFairy. I don't actually run around correcting strangers' grammar - I was being facetious.</p>
<p>Oh, I never think to check user names. Ah... Darn. I was hoping for something good.</p>
<p>Aww, it's k. I actually do have to mentally restrain myself from correcting the atrocious grammar of my peers at school from time to time;)</p>
<p>Actually, so do I.
My strangest pet peeve is prepositions at the end of sentences. I'm always correcting my Latin teacher.
I don't have the best grammer online though.</p>
<p>Eek. You can correct your teacher and not get the hairy eyeball?</p>
<p>That would NOT go down well where I live. :P</p>
<p>Haha. My French teacher would never let an underling student like myself correct her grammar. I have a feeling that if someone did attempt to, though, they would get a lunch detention, which she likes to give out whenever possible. i.e, my friend walks into class 30 seconds late, and she yells "DEJEUNER AVEC MOI!!!!!" across the room. She is annoying. </p>
<p>My personal worst spoken-word-related pet peeve, actually, is her French-Canadian accent. Ainh? ;)</p>
<p>hahahhaa i correct my teachers all the time and get yelled at by some. the worst is when you correct your parents. i get SCREAMED at for that.</p>
<p>isn't that a stereotype, that canadians say ainh at the end of sentence. i don't, i'm canadian, or maybe that's just me....</p>
<p>I told a teacher that her tattoo proved her ignorance once. I didn't say it in such a harsh way... </p>
<p>"Mommies angel"(the tattoo)... I said it should be possessive. She told me it was... And then I explained that "Mommy's Angel" would be the possessive form. She flipped. She is my English teacher.</p>
<p>@ muffinqueen: Actually, she does use "ainh," not really on its own, actually, but like "demain (de-manh)" becomes "demain(de-mainh)". It's just her natural accent, but it never ceases to drive me up the wall. I apologize if my written French pronunciation leaves much to be desired.
Sorry if my use of "ainh" led to believe that the context involved was with the traditional stereotype.
<em>Explanation of a Stereotype</em>
How someone in the English-speaking world might say "Eh?" for emphasis, "Ainh?" is basically this, but with a French-Canadian accent.
<em>End</em></p>
<p>I apologize for being an insane grammar nerd.</p>
<p>my nerves are fried like my grandma's chicken
my nerves are shot like Abraham Lincoln
my last nerve is being waltzed upon by my brother. he has no idea how close he is to getting lobotomized...</p>
<p>HA. Nice stories, people. ''DEJENUER AVEC MOI!'' Eek.</p>
<p>But yeah, I kinda say ''eh'' a lot.</p>
<p>@ GrammarFairy</p>
<p>don't worry, you're not being a nerd. my friend won the spelling bee, and he's been correcting my grammar since. when i congratulate people and say 'you did good", he gets all prickly and is like "WELL, not GOOD".</p>
<p>sigh, why are all french teachers crazy. the one at our school talks all singsongy, and it drives me nuts.</p>
