Quotes from student essays:

"He was a know body sailor."

"Fair is fowl, and fowl is fair."

"We have the right to bare arms."

"Maybe, if she knew that he would die in the Battle of Somme, she would've given him her vowels, as in, she'd have married him."

"Beatrice is a very analistic character."

"I think courage can also be that when someone is in the heat of the moment, they won't hesitate to think twice. For example, when someone needs to jump over something like a tall building in order to live to see another day."

"They need to have adaptations so they can evolutionate."

"They enjoyed cruising along the busy streets in that shinny silver Honda, feeling that nice genital breeze hit their faces."


Overheard conversation between two students:
"What does speculate mean?" "Isn't that something they do to your house?"
