I know some of you actually do read the reviews my students put on their online news site, and finally, we have an album review!

This student is a sophomore, by the way. I look forward to seeing what else she comes up with :)

The Marionette : Mandatory Fun ? Weird Al Review (http://www.hcpmarionette.com/opinion/2014/10/02/mandatory-fun-weird-al-review/)

Good review. Just one thing: The use of the word "homophones" is treading on thin ice . . . =)
It's akin to the use of the words niggardly or niggly amongst the overly sensitive, ignorant and stupid part of the population.

lol I'll keep that in mind.

Please accept my apology for neglecting to include the phrase, "Regardless of Race, Creed or Color", at the end of my observation, above. It has been my observation that most niggardly/niggly folks are of the Caucasian Persuasion. =)

I am glad that you apparently weren't offended by my Sin of Omission and were able to properly translate the thought behind these little squiggles on a video screen.

"Words have meaning."

It's pretty hard to offend me ;)

For your student: :tiphat: :tiphat: :tiphat:

Congratulations to you and your students!

Thanks! They're really a fantastic group this year. All ladies, by accident. The young lady who wrote this piece is whip smart, a total feminist, and super into 90s bands and all kinds of underground music. Her parents are a trip. I can't wait to read her next review. This required nearly zero editing, no joke, no exaggeration.

Sorry, I have a tendency to brag on my students :D

As you should. Your students tend to provide you many brag worthy opportunities.
