This is CLEARLY an Issue. Folks can we do something about this?
Buddy the elf is running for student council. He is running under a pseudonym though, no need to bias the public.
Katy decided that i needed an intervention, and taught me about geruns, participles, and infinitives (which I remember because she tatooed the word on my arm)A Gerun, if you were wondering, is a verb that acts as a noun using ING.
A Participle, is a verb that acts as an adjective using ING.
and an Infinitive, is a verb that (awe crap- one second, let me go look at my mirror) An infinitive is a verb that uses "to" to turn it into a noun. Any questions? Ask my crazy roomate. Or consult my mirror. Yes, this is what we did instead of getting ready for a dinner. We always look good enough anyway right?

jo,
i love gerunds, but, mostly, i love you. this is a very very funny thing your roommate has done.
it also says a lot about your friends that so many of us are showing up to help you with the spelling. i thank my lucky stars i had you to help me pretend to be one of the cool kids, even if only for a brief moment...
