ESL moment of the week:

"My family is something very impertinent to me, and I plan on keeping it that way. I'll most likely be living on the opposite side of the United States, but I'll defiantly be visiting on the significant holidays."

The combination of these two typos in consecutive sentences is simply outstanding (I'm pretty sure they are typos). Thanks to my student.

*The thing is, this student is from Texas and grew up speaking English. She also once spelled failure "f-a-l-i-a-r." But she does better in general than most of my students.
