More Essay Gaffes

Here are a few more from Friar Dave.

Friar Dave: "with the growth of Christianity grew classical culture with many great Christian thinkers like Socrates, St. Jerome and St. Augustine of Hippo..."
Friar Dave: all fairly relevant... minus Socrates who lived 800 years before
The Fly: LOL

And what about this gem?

Friar Dave: how bout this? "Quite often historians and people alike....."
Friar Dave: does that mean im not a person?
The Fly: I take that as a personal insult.
The Fly: Or I guess an impersonal insult.
Friar Dave: i couldnt agree more

History makes me smile. Undergraduates (hehe, look at me, I'm elitist!) who can't bring themselves to study or apply tact to their essays make me giggle like a schoolgirl.
