Well... by Cissy
I used the WotW, but I'm not sure if I did it right. If the sentence that has the word in it makes no sense, pay the hopeless-at-English author no mind. You should hear her talk, English teachers would cry.

*points at the comma splice and weeps*Actually, English teachers get pretty emotionally desensitized from reading all the unproofed papers kids turn in. You'd be surprised.

Just be glad... by Headmaster Bulla
...you haven't had to read Tarquin's appraisal. Yeah, you used a word related to the WotW rather than the word itself, so it's pretty much out of the running but we can all consider this a learning experience. Like I have after talking to Tarquin. I think he may have more to say on the subject soon. Be warned ;) (but not worried too much - his author is a smart cookie and knows her english language... er... stuff. And will certainly have good tips for making this competition work even better in the future).\r\n\r\n

Heh by Tarquin
No, no, worry not - I shall remain mute on the subject. Headmaster Bulla has explained it nice and succinctly, and I don't have anything to add except a technical explanation, which isn't needed, and which is what poor Bulla was subjected to when he asked the innocent question of "What do you think of this example?" It was a good use of the related word though, sorry I had to go grammatical on you.

>< Sorry about that. Well, perhaps there's next time. At least my sentence wasn't completely out of sense. That would be bad for me. Heh.

I probably would. I might have to ask my English teacher grandmother. I've probably made many an english teacher cry with my unproofed papers. I cannot fit a sentence together, and often make up or use words wrong.I'm surprised I made it to honors classes O.O
