Truthly

Yup, truthly. That is a word a student of mine used in a paper. I assume it is somehow related to "truthiness," the word Stephen Colbert coined which eventually made it into Webster's. Well, truthly it has been too long since I have posted, so let's get to the rest of the fun. As always, these sentences are from student work, and my comments are in (    ).

- As teenagers self a steam is always tricky. (Sure it is; you don't want to get burned.)
- When he is on the merge of dying...
- (Macbeth) worried that Banquo would get suspension of his reign.
- Macbeth hires three murders to kill Banquo.
- The only reason to kill Duncan is Macbeth's ambition for the throne due to ambition. (Department of Redundancy Department.)
- Macbeth murdered King Duncan in a cowardly was.
- Lady Macbeth is a women.
- Lady Macbeth becomes more physical and involved with her plans of becoming queen. (I am not sure how to take that.)
- Lady Macbeth wants to get rid of her feminine weakness because she believes it is weak. (Department of Redundancy Department.)
- Iago is... giving Othello the oppression that he cares for him.
- Desdemona and Emilia are similar and different in different ways. (That's deep?)
- ... a woman moving, trying to get out of the confinds of the wallpaper.
- Iago calls his wife names such as foolish and wrench. (I think you mean wench. I think.)
- Social media: killer of social stills. (And writing skills, apparently.)
- People are more judged mental to others over social media.
- ... the freedmen enjoys all of lives offerings.
- This shows how cowardice Peyton Farquhar is.
- She found console in writing.
- He portrays (the rich) as vacant and carless.
- (She) milks cows and sows. (No, she sews. She does not milk pigs.)
- So really if everyone started being reasonable human beings this could all be avoided. (But then the stories would be boring.)

Happy spring!
