Currently I have wordnesia over the word science and I feel like an absolute failure. I seriously want to cry, the I and E look so wrong. *hangs head in hands*

We all know the rule: “I before E, except after C and when sounding like ‘ay’ as in neighbor and weigh and on weekends and holidays and all throughout May; and you’ll always be wrong no matter WHAT you say!

But there is an extended rule where the I can go before E after C like in ‘fanciest’ and ‘efficient’ and, the word we all love, ‘science’.

From what I understand, this has to do with origins of words, and with different root languages they bring different rules.

But I’m not a linguist – the rule that I go by is that English is hella broken, and if you want to have any semblance of an appearance of competence you have to learn each individual word one by one and learn how it’s spelled and how it sounds because NONE OF THEM follow any RULES.

English needs to be fixed.

English is hella broken, I agree. English mugs other languages for loose vowels and spellings.

However, wordnesia is just a feeling of wrongness and it was sticking too long. I have taken your husband’s advice of say nothing and drink to forget. Staring too long at any word is unhealthy and can lead to the sensation of wrongness (most likely why pens and pencils are banned.)

It’s probably why some books are banned too.

The word that gets me is ‘restaurant’. Just… I wanna say ‘restaurAUNT’. Also College… not ‘colledge’.

Uncle Carlos? Can I come to your lab after practice today? (ninjajanice)

Absolutely, Janice. Did you need to do some homework? Or just work on science with me?

I’m writing a paper for science class and wanted to do an experiment. How much pure sodium do you have?

Maybe about five fluid ounces of it – I don’t use it much. What’s the experiment?

Nice! How much  can I use?  I want to drop it in water and measure the energy it lets out! 

Hm, lemme think… You won’t need much at all to get a manageable explosion – no matter what MacGyver says, it won’t be too big to handle. Maybe a gram will be enough.

Hey thanks! My teacher did a demo and I thought it was so cool! Can I use this bench in the corner?

Sure. But let’s get you some gear first – lab safety is important, you know! Come with me to the supply closet and we’ll get you set up.

How To Care For: Give her lots of attention. Take her on long walks in the park to keep her out of trouble. Do not be discouraged if she appears affronted by affection — she really does love you! (Written by Carlos)

“Awwww, Carlos, you know me so well! But you forgot ‘Give her money when she asks cause she mostly just wants food.’

“Oh yeah! ‘Make sure she’s always fed. And know where your money’s going if she asks for some’.” He grinned at her.

“Woooow, you act like I’ve used your money for more than just food before.” She rolled her eyes and stuck her tongue out

“Half the make-up you have is from you borrowing money from me,” he told her with a smile – he knew she was always good for returning the money when she borrowed it, but he was just giving her a hard time.

“You have no proof of that!” She protested teasingly. She knew he was just messing around.

“I kept the reciepts you gave me. I have so much proof!”

“Yeah, boo hoo, ‘ya had a $&#% day, just heard about Kate Spade, I get it. My day ain’t exactly been a walk in Pee Wee Herman’s shoes, either. First ‘ya get swindled out of a deal, a fat paycheck, after a night of Netflix and kill with Tori Spelling’s crapshoot of a twin, then what? The &$#@%/ wuss up an’ books it to Tijuana.”

“#@%/& Tijuana. @$%/& schmuck. &%$#@ Pee Wee Herman.”

The reminder of what transpired hours ago left Deadpool once again seeing red. And with a click of the Desert Eagle, he fires a few rounds of bullets into the lone glass that’d been left behind on the counter of the bar.

“When I get my hands on ‘im, I’m gonna rip his innards right out of his @&$ and use it as a jump rope.”

Carlos jumped in shock and he stared incredulously at the masked man. “Dude, what the f@$*??“ he asked. “I don’t know who Kate Spade is!” Who the hell – who let this maniac into the bar?? “And I don’t know who would even want to walk a day in Peewee Herman’s shoes.”

Carlos swallowed and scoot his chair away, turning toward the other man defensively. He tried to relax – he couldn’t freak out.

“Look, uh, I’m sorry you’ve had a sh*t day yourself,” he said as carefully as he could. “Uh, but I don’t think property-damage is the answer. I mean, heh… what could a poor little glass have done?” Has someone called the police? He hoped so.

“Sleep is for the weak!” Maria stated loudly before she dumped a redbull into her coffee cup and chugged it

“Holy – Maria, no!“ Carlos exclaimed. “Your heart’s going to explode!”

“Way to squash my dreams of overthrowing Satan to become the Queen of Hell, big brother.” Maria scoffed loudly.

Carlos just grinned at her. “I love you,” he promised, showing his perfect white teeth.
