"It was an orange so vivid that it could only appear in nature, like a traffic cone."
I couldn't help myself. I drew a tree with highlighter-orange traffic cones for fruit.

This is a beautiful sentence. As we know, traffic cones are natural features of our landscape, just like aspens, granite, finches, etc. Now, if your student had said "...like a waffle cone," I might have taken issue, and/or offense. |

Should this be cross-posted on the thread about doodles on exams? The student obviously comes from one of the States in which traffic cones reappear like the song birds in Spring. |

"I don't work well in groups because I am a perfectionist. I would rather do all the work myself and ensure I get an A. If 75% of my grade is determined by me then that is 15% that I have no control over."
A true perfectionist. Just not in math.

Well, either that, or not in English--as in proofreading. Either way, it's hilarious. |

Should this be cross-posted on the thread about doodles on exams? The student obviously comes from one of the States in which traffic cones reappear like the song birds in Spring. My thought exactly! After all, the orange traffic control device (it used to be cones, then orange-and-white striped barrels, now it's these orange-and-white striped stand-up panel things with handles on top) are the true State Flower of my home state of Pennsylvania, where the seasons are Mud, Winter, More Mud, and Construction. |

Although humans can adapt to many things there are certain things not humanily adapted too.

It starts so cogently and then degrades so dramatically. Wow. Noam Chomsky would be proud. |
