I just love this post by Sunshine and Starlight and had to reblog. It reminds me why I adore the English Language. Here are 4 of my favourites from her marvellous list of extracted sentences from high school essays. If you’re having a bad day, reading her post may cheer you up a little.
1. Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.
2. He was as tall as a six-foot, three-inch tree.
3. The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn’t.
4. The young fighter had a hungry look, the kind you get from not eating for a while.
