My dad is a University lecturer and he has a student this year with the surname A. She's an immigrant, as that surname would usually be illegal here.

I've had several students over the years who don't have any surname at all. Apparently the Australian immigration department's computers shit themselves at that and the operators have to repeat the first name(s) in to the surname box. Thus I get students like Boby Boby and Than Duc Than Duc.

My dad has a student like that, too. My dad was compelled to ask him bout it to ensure it wasn't a typo.

Sophisticated.

What's that 100,000 letter word again? I think someone should post that for Nate.

OddjobAbe 04-10-2012 05:19 AM

"Incrementally". That first plosive consonant really does it for me.

This is what happens when you put a bunch of geeky PhD students in a room together:




I'll let you guess which ones are from me.

Well, I did read 'noteworthy' as 'nateworthy'.

Floccinaucinihilipilification is my favorite useless word.

Also, that throws up a spelling error in Firefox. The suggested correction? “Oversimplification”.

"Lurid". I don't know if I've seen that here already.

It hasn't. How do I know? I just do. :p

Not having an anally retentive personality, it happens that I wasn't worried about repeating anything.

Manco 04-12-2012 10:53 AM

“Repetition” is a great word.

MeechMunchie 04-12-2012 10:57 AM

“Repetition” is a great word.

Varrok 04-12-2012 12:17 PM

Great word, not a great action. Pretty lame action, if you ask me ;)

Progress.
