For the English teachers out there

The stages of grading:
Stage II presents with mild but steady localized pain, mostly along the GI tract, and an inability to concentrate. Despair is still contained, but it’s eyeing the lymphatic system’s freedom train. Women are "co-modified." Men are "discluded." Role models are "immolated." Passages are "taken out of context due to objective reality." "Often times" is everywhere.

Some great posts at that site, but the one you quoted has to take the prize. I think the students have apps that churn out those trenchant observations.
