Quick vocab elucidation?

[where]

I was taught EFL ...the spelling ain't that bad...although, admittedly, having spell check to back you up is kinda comforting...and one of these days I'll be able to spell "referring"* without messing up.

*Ohh- got it right!

I wonder if you can be dyslexic in languages that use ideograms?

I did it in the days before we had computers.

I was a really good teacher though. they ALWAYS learned. even the partially sighted deaf japanese girl with a speech impediment.

Actually, we shouldn't jest about that.

Textspeak is actually no longer marked down in Year 12 English exams here, so long as the point has been clearly expressed.

I weep.

seriously? what the fuck is happening to the world?

or lazier. I used to get emails from students asking for academic support in textspeak. and not kids, people in their 30s.

I told them to contact me again using the best possible english they could.

Where the fuck is my 'like' button?!

My like button is located near the anterior junction of my labia minora, above the opening of my urethra and vagina.
I'm not sure where yours is if it isn't there.

Humanity's always been a bunch of lazy bitches. Otherwise, we'd still be in caves and wouldn't need all this modern life stuff.

Hey, all,
I've noticed a bunch of BDSM peeps (both around here and on fetlife) use the word "dominate" (which is a verb (e.g. "Doms dominate subs.")) as a noun (e.g. New sub looking for a dominate)). I see it often enough that I've started assuming that it's some sort of "community" thing- some inside joke I'm missing out on. Please, please, please tell me it's a joke I didn't get- I have woefully little faith in humanity as it is.

Thanks.

This used to annoy me TO NO END. But now it shows me who I'll never dominate.

Agreed. Mr Lit, if you're listening, please get us a 'like' button! Pretty pleeeeease?
