Google's Auto Responses Are Killing Me..

passive voice needs to stop. because sometime i forget how english works and i have like three different clauses in my sentence and i just- can't.

language learning tips

-listen to disney songs in your target language. 

-watch tv shows with subs, dubs or both in your target language. 

-find some pop songs in your target language and listen to them while you work on something else. 

-when memorizing vocab, try writing the vocab in sentences, rather than just learning the vocab itself. try to make the example sentence as funny/ridiculous as possible, so you remember it later. 

-try texting a friend who speaks/is learning your target language. you might surprise each other with new words, and you’re more likely to remember them if they have context, eg. talking with a friend.

having attempted to categorize the various facets of poor response to oil spills as either market, civil society or government, i find myself at a loss trying to explain that... well... nature n the science we observed just... not working in favor of bioremediation isn't really a market failure?????

"Implicit in this argument about scientific truth is that scientific truth is predicated on conflict between multiple different theories, and approaches scientific truth as an absolute that can only be approached asymptotically through empiricism, a decidedly modern and western conception."

(my dear friend proof reading this) "bro u say 'scientific truth' three times in this sentence."

…and that’s ignoring the “multiple different theories” and all the other BS happening here….

...scientists really be like "put simply" and then follow it up with the most incomprehensible, jargon filled sentence you've ever read.

Dear scientists,

Please, for the love of God, please, make your papers more understandable.

Fuck you

Sincerely,

A college student on the verge of tears

ah, yes.

the sweet, sweet smell of procrastination.

"what skills do i have" is of course followed by "what job do you want me to do, exactly? oh, right. that, the one that matches my supposed skillset. right. that."

i love that when writing cover letters, i have to keep going back to my resume, going "wait, what skills do i have again? oh right, i can read that kind of graph. let's put that down."

i- it has come to my attention that some of the journal articles i am citing, for a school paper, sound like tabloids???

examples:

How Enigmatic is Hans Christian Andersen?

Seeing Andersen as He Isn’t

Like bro?

writing a resume be like "i promise i don't suck and i am capable of the stuff i will need to do for u. i'm not incompetent i swear" ｡◕‿‿◕｡

reading thomas nagel be like

"sir WHAT are your verbs and why.

why are you like this?"
