Because I take my language studies seriously, I invested in an electronic dictionary. It basically enables me to neglect vocab memorization and instead just hastily look things up ad nauseam. Also it has this nifty 'example sentence' function. Here are a few example sentences (excuse the crappy pictures. I'm a language student, not a photographer. I just wanted proof that I wasn't making this up) ...

"Trinity Church still functions as a house of worship and as a peaceful refuge for haggard businesspeople." Which is fine, I guess. If haggard business people are at church, then they're not bothering me elsewhere with their haggardness.

"You deliberately murdered that vagrant, John! Get going!" Quick, before the police come!

"Some people feel both boys and girls blossom when they study in the company of students of the same sex." Some people are disgusting. Cease and desist with the blossom feeling. What is with this sentence? I'm saying it to my Japanese teacher tomorrow morning. First thing. See if I get arrested.


"Enid said she was disgusted by the sex in the film." And I kind of agreed with Enid. For a porno that won so many awards, you expect a little more. I just didn't feel the acting-out of the sex was all that believable. One could say I am disgusted with it, in fact.

"Paul seems to regard sex as sinful and immoral." Paul needs to calm the fuck down.
