[The feed comes on with Lloyd looking off to the side, talking to someone off screen.]

-sure wish I could have turned homework in like this back home! Then even if I waited until the last minute I could still-

Oh, hey, it's on.

[Lloyd looks into the camera, looking incredibly pleased with himself.]

Professor, we did it! We got our homework done! And we're even getting it in early.

[Before the original two week deadline, in fact! Are they trying to give Raine a heart attack?

He doesn't seem to realize that this isn't locked to Raine at all, that everyone can see this.]

Here, you can read it now. I wrote the stuff in blue, and Luke did the stuff in black.

[That said, he turns the starfish around so that the view takes in a table with five pieces of paper on it.]





and no one would be confuzed. You need apo appo appostrofees to becos they show were your missing letters like in don't.


"apostrophes", I think. We're supposed to spell right too, right?

There's some other ones in here too, but I don't think it's important.

Anyway, yeah, lists are better. But like, if you can't do a list, then it's better to use them. You know, stuff like "Anise, Natalia and Tear went to buy things".

There's also this thing

;

That's like a period but not. But I don't use it unless I feel like it.


(Note off to the side next to the line about spelling -> I dont think so she just sed we were suposed to write about gramer)


I don't evan know what that is. Why do you need an extra thing for a peroid if its just a peroid?

You have to use capitel letters to becos that's for names and things. If you don't use one than you don't know if your talking about Colette's dog Carmel or about carmel candy. You also have to use them at the begining of sentances but I don't know why.


(Beside the previous note -> I don't know, she sounds pretty strict. But if you say so.)

… You know, I don't know either. Maybe it's just to let people know you're starting a sentence, but shouldn't that be obvious enough with all the periods and stuff?

But yeah, you also have to capitalize the I. "i am Luke" isn't right, but "I am Luke" is.

Apostrophes can also shorten words, so they're good to have. You can shorten up "is not" to "isn't", and would of to "would've".

Or wait, is it would of or would have? The last one sounds right, but…

(And a small note -> Guy would know, ask him.)


They both sound fine to me.

Any way that's why grammer's importent. Its also importent becos profesor Raine seys it is. Their's probabley more stuff we forgot but we only have to write five pages so that's it!

(Note at the bottom -> Man I'm so glad thats over.)

...why did the dog bite the cat?

Are they fighting?

[ Yeah. That's all she took away from that. ]

[ OOC DIes laughing. ]

[ Video ]

[redcladidealist]

Huh?

[Totally not prepared to defend his choice of an example.]

Uh... I don't know. I guess so? Why do you ask?

[OOC: Hee~]

[ Video ]

[lucentpalisade]

Why are they fighting? [ Should she really be taking this so seriously? ]

... you wrote that the dog bit the cat. [ This is reason enough to ask, apparently! ]

You should tell them not to fight.

[ Video ]

[redcladidealist]

What? No, they're not really fighting. I was just making an example for my paper.

[ Video ]

[lucentpalisade]

They weren't?

[ Example? Bwah? ]

Your paper was to lie?

[ Video ]

[redcladidealist]

I didn't lie! I said if! And I was just showing how it'd mean something different if I mixed up the words in that sentence.

[ Video ]

[lucentpalisade]

Is that important?

[ Words are hard, kay :I ]

[ Video ]

[redcladidealist]

Sure it is. Like I said, if you were telling someone about a dog and a cat, it'd matter if you said it was the dog that bit the cat, or if you got them mixed up and said it was the cat. If someone needs to know which pet got hurt, that's important, right?

[ Video ]

[lucentpalisade]

Yes. But if they didn't really bite each other, and you say they did, isn't that lying?

[ Video ]

[redcladidealist]

See? Exactly!

[He thinks she's gotten his point.]

That's why it's important to say the right words in the right order. Otherwise what you're saying is wrong.

[ Video ]

[lucentpalisade]

[ Nope, still confused. A little. ]

What is it for? [ She means the whole ...everything at least. ]

[ Video ]

[redcladidealist]

What, the paper? That's just homework. My teacher thinks I'm bad at writing, so she wants me to practice. Luke got dragged into it too because he was writing to me on the starfish and the Professor saw.

[ Video ]

[lucentpalisade]

So... homework is supposed to make you not bad at writing?

[ Video ]

[redcladidealist]

Yeah, that's what my teacher things. I'm not sure how much good it actually does, at least with writing, but usually when you practice things, you're supposed to get better at it.

[ Video ]

[lucentpalisade]

Like cooking?

[ Video ]

[redcladidealist]

Yeah, like cooking!

...though I guess not everyone gets better with practice there, either. My teacher's food always tastes bad.

[ Video ]

[lucentpalisade]

Always?

How come? Does she not practice cooking well?

[ Video ]

[redcladidealist]

She practices more than anyone wants her to. I don't know if it's possible for her to cook good.

[ Video ]

[lucentpalisade]

So if it's possible for her cooking to not get better, then does that mean it's possible for your homework to not get better?

[ So. So confused! ]

[ Video ]

[redcladidealist]

[He hadn't thought about it like that before, but now that he does, it makes a certain amount of sense.]

Yeah, I guess it is, but I don't think my teacher will let that stop her from making me do homework anyway.

[Still, maybe he'll give that argument a try with her...]
