My English homework makes me LOL
 
Here's a quote from one of my essays

Quote:
If Jim loses his job he would have to claim benefits which would be detrimental to the state.
I've never used to the word "detrimental" in my life :hehe:

It makes me LOL.

I use big words when I'm writing letters/essays as well whereas I never use them when I'm speaking. I read it back and think; "That really doesnt sound like me at all!"

I used to right click my words and click on the synonomnom thing I can't spell so it'd suggest more impressive words for me to use in my essays. :hehe:

I'm a bit like that. Ever since having to use it like 7 times in an essay for history (and I took history twice so it's like 14 times) I've been subconsciously using "lesser of two evils" (or something similar, now that I try to think of it, I can't remember it) whenever I can.

I'm terrible at essay writing. I use big interesting words when I speak and as soon as I try and write something intelligent they disappear and I sound like a twit. :p

I'm actually the opposite. I read them and think, "Finally I'm able to compile all of my thoughts on a topic and not get weird looks for using big words! Yay!" I'm such a dork. :nosweat: Oh noes!
