There were two things that reminded me of our fun filled days of AP comp today
The first one was I got an email from someone and they signed it with their name like this
(insert her name here) J
I was perplexed by the fact that she added a capital J to her name given that her last name doesn't end in a J. Then my mind shot over to the green sheet that we got about emotacons and how if you are writing an email and add a smiley face, it is shown as a capital J. They said that it would make the person who does it look like an idiot, and it kind of did.
Also, I was listening to the radio and they were replaying the presidential debate. Immediately my mind switched into logical fallacy mode. Newt Gingrich made the comment, "there are 94 languages spoken at" so and so university, "and that is why English needs to be our main language."
Oh, I didn't realize that since a university speaks many languages it means that we should speak one language. Logical Fallacy!
They also threw around the word rhetoric a lot, but I think it was so they could sound smarter.
Briana, you said you were going to write in your blog every day, and you already missed Saturday and Sunday!
ReplyDeleteI can still fail you, you know. I can fail you in AP Comp until...11:59 tomorrow evening.
Jelly beans! Gross.
