We spent fully half an hour discussing the schedule and getting handouts. Honestly, the number of trees which have been slaughtered for this class is staggering.

And look at one of the handouts. It starts off "Ladies Nite Open Mic". Now, I'm not going to tackle the abomination which is nite, since I know they did that on purpose. But what about the Ladies? Shouldn't that be "ladies'" instead? Why, yes, yes it should! Morons.

It gets better, though. You didn't think I'd make an entire post just to bitch about one lost apostrophe, did you?

Ever feel like your voice is not being heard? The Revolutionary Alliance of Womyn (RAW) in conjunction with the Women's Center is sponsoring an Open MIc for all womyn and myn.

First, there should be a comma after "Revolutionary Alliance of Womyn (RAW). But more importantly...

WOMYN AND MYN???

WTF?

I grudgingly don't complain about "womyn". I understand the twisted logic behind that spelling, along with its lack of etymology. Personally, I'd prefer to just bring back were and wereman, but people don't listen to me... However, back on topic, what the fuck is up with "myn"? How does that prove anything other than that you think ys are cool? Is the E evil? Did it slaughter innocents? Must w boycott th most popular lttr in the Nglish alphabt?

DOWN WITH... UH... THAT LTTR!

I'm so laughing at that flyer that I won't even (vn) get into the discussion itself.

that make me fear college professors. Oh well, I still have a year and a half before facing them.

P.S.- I think the "women" v. "womyn" thing is really, really pointless. Feel free to flame me on that one.
