[QUOTE="justanobody, post: 4599553, member: 70778"] But an English teacher refusing to look up the word in context or to even find out what it means, and then to think I would be using melee wrongly for waylay, for me to even know what waylay means and not know what melee means when she knows she hasn't taught them? :erm: Teachers just don't like being wrong and when a teacher is wrong the student is at fault for it and should be punished! :eek: Anyway the office sent me back and called the teacher to the office and sent her back to the classroom with a dictionary to look up words she didn't understand before arguing with students. So apparently 1st edition was too hard for teachers but easy for kids. Kind of like childproof bottles are hard for adults to open, but easy for children to open. :eek: So if 2nd was made simpler in the way of words it was so adults could understand them. [/QUOTE]
