I have to admit, I am kind of scandelized by this story. Nevermind the fact that he was complete ignorant of biblical history (let's face it, most people are), I'm just shocked that he had the audacity to make the class write anti-Christian poetry. Can instructors do that? What did you end up doing?
I'm really into name etymology too. Knowing what people's names mean can be good ice-breaker. I have to admit to being somewhat self-satisfied whenever I tell a girl what her name means and she's like, "Yeah! How did you know that??" I usually shrug and smile and say, "I know names." :)
I once had college instructor who was fascinated by etymologies and just about every class he would explain to us the origins of some commonly used word. One day he asked if I knew where a particular word originated from, I said "no I'm not very good an etymologies." He said, "Eta-whata-gies?" I said, "Etmologies." The guy didn't even know what that word meant. I thought that was funny. Anyway, I just thought I'd share that with you.
Hey, Emily, thanks for friending me. We slightly older NF need to stick together. When I was looking at who else was attending the tour event that I was going to, it looked like an awful lot of high school and college age folks. Which is perfectly fine. It's just nice to connect with the other folks who are a bit beyond that stage. : )
Yes ma'am, we attended the Plano Event. Were you there as well? I'm the one who asked John to move the mike stand. LOL I'm up in Celina, about 15 miles from you. My son's girlfriend used to live in Little Elm before they moved to Frisco. Elder Nerdfighters Unite!
Hi Emily! Thanks for friending me! I worry that there are not a lot of us older Nerdfighters around. I like the "Nerdgeezers" comment. I think I'd fit right in. You also live relatively close to me here in North Texas

(Don't I have just great observational skills? O.o)
I practically died when I realized the gaffe I made.
I'd never leave such a blunt insult on someones page (cyber bullying clearly shows an indication of no balls).
You have a "Winn"ing smile, Javarose.
(Yes, yes, from here on out, any post I make on your wall, I will also try to include a decent "Winn" pun).
So its all good
I made a baaaad typo in my first post to you. :(
I said "Yes! I am not friends with the "Winn"ingest person. Har, har, har."
I meant "Yes! I am now friends with the "Winn"ingest person. Har, har, har."
*dies of shame*
That bad of a joke, eh?
:D
Thanks for the add. Older Nerdfighters FTW :)
*throws up and then passes out*
Also, unlike you, I AM a grammar nazi, so watch out! Stay within the parameters of the english language and we'll be fine! >=3
*w00t! more friends!
