Marking Highlight

This is a bit delayed, but here is my marking highlight for the previous exams...(this photo is proof that I do occasionally mark, for all those doubters)

I took a photo of the actual text, but decided to type it instead - the handwriting is distinctive, and I don't want to embarrass anyone. But this is really an excellent, creative, thoughtful and intelligent wrong answer. Love it!

Q: What does fleet of foot mean? (Context was an article about endangered cheetahs)

A: This phrase means there were lots of cheetahs walking together all in a herd, and when you look you see a large amount (sic) of feet.

!brilliant!

Signing off - all day chess tournament today!

PS if you're wondering why 'amount' is incorrect, 'feet' are countable and should therefore be refered to as 'number'. 'Amount' is for uncountable quantities (sugar, grass, milk...). Grammar lesson over!

It's Five O'Clock on a... Fri-iday...

...the regular crowd shuffles in. There's a young man, sitting next to me...

And these guys are my new best friends for the next few hours:

I/we have been on a major Big Bang binge for the past couple of weeks - we're not about to let some trivial marking interrupt. Not much, anyway!

I think the main reason I love Big Bang Theory is simple... I married a slightly less dorky but pretty much as smart, funny and caring version of Leonard. Shout out to you, my angel (that's Adam, just so we're clear)!

Adam also wins on height ;)

Oh yeah, and he's REAL.

Beat that, homies
