This was an amazing thing. She got 10 years.

He didn't have to. He did it on his own. Would it be nice if more of these Trumpian Evangelicals actually followed the Gospel? Yeah. But for now this kid is my hero. I don't think I could do it and what that says about me is not good.

It's understandable, though. I doubt I could do it, either. It just shows there are better people in the world than us.

The ablative is thee.

Edit: yeah, but this is the nominative. we/thou; us/thee.

You are correct! "Than thou."

Edit again: oh f-ck, then what about "to thine..."

No, that's OK, that's genitive, because it's thineself. Possessive.

Yeah, it's thou.

Carry on.

What? You're not interested in waiting for Kep to get all snobby about the dative, locative, and instrumental cases? :D

If we really want to get pedantic about grammar, we should get into Hungarian.

Knowledge isn't the same as snobbery.

Preferring to be wrong rather than right in order to not be laughed at by the Great Unwashed (hurr, you know things, hurrrrr!) is what got us Dump.

Be better.

Is there really an "instrumental" case? Never heard of that. Cool!

I wasn’t even familiar with the term ‘instrumental case’ or ‘grammatical case’ 23 seconds ago.

The concept, maybe. Not the term. I spent far too much time in school working from the final chapter in the math books backwards.

Then again, maybe if i knew what a case was, I would have gotten into first college instead of waitlisted. :-/

IIRC MIT had (has?) a 200 Club for people who scored at least that many more points on math than verbal.

I aced my math on SAT and SAT II. I made it to the third round of the AMT(?). I took second in district on math team and made it to state. I finished calc before I was out of 11th grade. I got three fives on my AP calc exams. I got two fours on my AP physics. I got a five on AP stats. I aced my AP Chem test. I placed 17th in Minnesota on the chemistry test. I tutored AP Chem when I was junior in high school.I had two years of college classes before I stepped onto any campus. I was an AP national scholar with distinction. My first class in college was quantum mechanics.

I still didn’t get into MIT. I gained an incredible respect for the talent at MIT when I got that waitlist letter.

I have three second or third hand brushes with MIT.

A first cousin I really do not know well graduated from there.

I have a close friend whose brother in law was a astro-physics wunderkind who was a tenured professor there at a very young age and was in the running for a Nobel in physics. I found he had zero personality, and his own sister described him as a complete jerk.

I had a short but pleasant conversation with a another dad when I was visiting schools with my daughter while she was still in HS. He was with his daughter and we were doing the tour thing at Columbia or Williams, I think. A nice friendly guy, completely without pretense, which was very refreshing compared to many parents making those visits. We straggled at the back of the group and talked about family a little. When he described his son, who was accepted at MIT, just shrugged and smiled as if he couldn't really understand it, and said: "He sees math."

Our daughters probably both got perfect or near perfect scores on parts of their ACT and SATs, but not in math, and I'm pretty sure he was as math-challenged as I and was plainly candid about it.

You're lucky to have that gift, dx. But I gotta ask: How can a guy as smart as you be dumb enough to be a gopher hockey fan? And if it's a quarky answer, don't bother.

He wasnt a good speller and found solace in celebrating a team that walks you through spelling the team name after a goal?
