Based on a heated discussion I had earlier today, with a person that will remain anonymous...Lets just say she is worth about as much as her name is in U.S. currency...
This discussion has lead me to have to blog on the word Library. Library, L-I-B-R-A-R-Y, Library! Webster's defines as such:
This discussion has lead me to have to blog on the word Library. Library, L-I-B-R-A-R-Y, Library! Webster's defines as such:
Main Entry: li·brary Pronunciation: 'lI-"brer-E, -"bre-rE; Britain usually and US sometimes -br&r-E; US sometimes -brE, ÷-"ber-E, -"be-rEFunction: nounInflected Form(s): plural -brar·iesEtymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French librarie, Medieval Latin librarium, from Latin, neuter of librarius of books, from libr-, liber inner bark, rind, book1 a : a place in which literary, musical, artistic, or reference materials (as books, manuscripts, recordings, or films) are kept for use but not for sale b : a collection of such materials
Notice that in all the possible pronunciations of the word...Libury is not one of them! Now, the next time you want to have an intelligent conversation with someone, please make sure you are at least pronouncing the basic words correctly and putting the right Emphasis on the right syllables!

I love this comment if anyone were there they would have been proud.
James.... i agree with you 100%.... i was really trying to figure out where the libury was.... haha and i was also trying to figure out why it is the college's responsibility to get you here.... would you apply for a job knowing that you wouldn't be able to get yourself there? would you tell your boss, sorry i couldn't make it to the meeting because the bus schedule is screwed up? what the hell... take out a bigger student loan and buy a damn car...
If every SGA meeting is like the one today, i don't know how many more i'm going to attend...
I'll be honest here, I think the ACT and SAT need a spelling portion. some good, ol' fashion 3rd grade spelling questions. or better yet make em' write out each word 5 times each.
today the word breffust was used you missed it man
While breffust, whatever it is sounds like a lot of fun, I prefer to eat breakfast! What most would argue is the single most important way to start your day, with a good breakfast that is! I am sorry I missed it!
I will allow it to slide but dont do it again. I actually fell asleep without another male present.
