    I'm a big fan of pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. The word, not the debilitating lung disease, mind you.

    Doesn't anyone like some nice, normal words? Imagine the word 'the'. It gets used all the time, but it gets no love at all! Poor word! It must feel so empty and used :(

    I thought I may have made a mistake by not using the word 'a' instead for my example tbh. But apparently not!

    When I was in 3rd grade they were teaching us how to write stories and we murdered the word 'said'. Literally. We had a funeral for it and everything, with a paper gravestone and flowers, hahaha.

    I remember doing something like that too! Haha. Except it was more like a forgetting-ceremony where we had to promise we didn't know the word while we were in her class.

    All of us just ended up replacing it with silly words like "exclaimed" and "questioned" lol.

    I know, it messed up my writing for years because I felt like I literally wasn't allowed to use the word 'said' so everything sounded really terrible and over-the-top when it didn't need to be haha. Glad to know I didn't just have a crazy teacher though!

    We did something like that in most of my english classes up until high school. Then I read Harry Potter books and cry. I hate the word said being used.

    I never cared when teachers told me not to use a certain word. #beingarebel

    I'm sorry I was a good little schoolkid. When I was in elementary school once I didn't do my hw and they made me call home to tell my mom and I was crying my eyes out cause I thought she would get upset and she didn't care at all...so then every time I didn't do it I just spent time on the phone chatting with my mom and my teacher wasn't amused. Punishment failed hahaha

    I was good in school when I was younger as well, I had big fish small pond syndrome unfortunately. College snapped me out of that haha.

    I was generally good in school.... not so much in high school, but that's probably cause my high school teachers were so ****

    I was the type of high school student who didn't study but did good anyway... unless it was math ugh. I remember taking our history regents exam (NY only thing if I'm not mistaken) during the end of my junior year and somehow acing with a 95. Until this day it surprises me that I aced such a long exam that included an essay without studying at all; guess uni shows how much of a joke HS really is, lol.
