I'm not really a grammar nazi but there is one thing that does get on my nerves, people who spell 'rediculous'.

that is rediculous.

Yeah I get that every day at work. I know I really shouldn't laugh at my students but sometimes I can't help it. I had one guy tell me that if he won the lottery he would buy a boat and circumcise the world.

I burst out laughing, told him where he'd made a mistake, and then gave him a lot of props for trying to use circumnavigate.

I also got "please execute me for being late," "I'm having a cat today," "I came in school this morning," "I must go home and eat my dog."

Also had a very interesting conversation with a student about Rihanna,
Student: I think Rihanna is the most beautiful singer. Her skin is very nice because she is a cross-breed.
Me: Ok, DON'T use the word "breed" to describe a person. It's VERY offensive, very rude. We only use that word for animals.
Student: Ohh, I'm sorry. She's a half-breed.

^ I'm sorry but I had to.

no worries, I've no idea what that video is since youtube is banned here. If it's not too much trouble you could give me a quick summary of it :)

Youtube is banned in Turkey?

Well, here's your summary:

"Istanbul was Constantinople now it's Istanbul not Constantinople..."

Yep, they banned it back in May 2008 I believe. I was using google's public DNS to get round the ban but for some reason that isn't working anymore. I'll have to talk to my computer guru buddy and figure out what's going on.

I had no idea it was banned in Turkey, I'm quite surprised.

Yeah, it was put into effect after a series of youtube videos insulting Ataturk started circulating around youtube, of course Erdogan cited pornographic material as the real reason for the ban. There was a Turkish paper that estimated about 800 websites are blocked in Turkey. You can always go through a proxy server but changing the DNS is so much more convenient. It's actually really annoying me that it's not working anymore.

You don't miss it till it's gone =/
