I always preferred the English version of "diarrhea"...
Which is "diarrhoea", because it looks like you really lost control of your vowels.
A teacher was helping her young fourth graders with an assignment.
Reading over John's papers she read:
Mother's name: Mary Applegate
Relationship to the person above: It's good.
During a parent-teacher conference, a mother insisted I shouldn’t have taken points off her daughter’s English paper for calling her subject Henry 8 instead of Henry VIII.
“We have regular numbers on our keyboard,” she explained. “No Roman numerals.”
After a coworker had finished his English lecture and his class had filed out, a tenth grader stayed behind to confront him.
“I don’t appreciate being singled out,” he told his teacher.
The teacher was confused. “What do you mean?”
“I don’t know what the ‘oxy’ part means, but I know what a ‘moron’ is, and you looked straight at me when you said it.”
