    Hehe, your sister is really . . . imaginative. I’m surprised at how the story originally was, because I could not understand any of the “translation.” Really something different to read.

  • Have you ever read an essay or story with really big words that just don’t fit? Some people want to wow their audience by using “big” words that are really out of place. I thought we’d do this one for fun. and it was fun to write with her. I’ll pass along the message. thanks for reading!

    I always hate those kinds of essays/writings. Although, sometimes I wonder if I should expand my vocabulary a bit to make my writing more definite and precise. At least we don’t talk the way the characters in the “translation” do, that would be odd. .

  • yeah, that probably would. Though i really like “Nix, I’m underprivliged.” That is funny!
    I like essays like that. I like choosing the word that exacly fits my meaning. Some of my friends say, “Nice essay, you used a lot of big words,” But that just makes me feel as if they think I’m trying to impress with my vocab, which I’m not, i just like words.
