Also, how the fuck did they type ANYTHING on their phone? I can barely do coherent SENTENCES on touchscreens.

She's a teenager, explaining the typing part, and her grammar and sentence structure sucks on a keyboard so it's probably worse on a phone. I want to get her to send it to me so that I can fix everything with my Grammar Nazi^tm brand spellcheck.

And now you must introduce her to DF. Someone who gets that much enjoyment from killing off characters will be like a duck in water when they play DF.

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD

Duly noted.

@friendAwesomeness: I know, it's why I like her.

Classmate asked me to type up a report for a project we are doing. Then I had to email the document back to her.

Why is this weird? Because the report I was given wasn't done in writing. It was already typed up and printed on paper. I don't understand.

I was also told that I wouldn't be doing any of the editing, since I use words that are too big and hard to understand.

Well, at least she complimented your intelligence. It's always nice when people do that, even if theirs is sorely lacking.

Boy, that's some über-clever sarcasm

I don't want to be subtle about my disdain for that stupid shit.

Oh no, we mustn't strain their poor brains with big words like plate tectonics or astrobiology.

Seriously? Unless you actually are going overboard with big and fancy technical words, but this is just.... I dunno.

My wtf facepalm: You know the rocket that exploded yesterday? Apparently it used 40 year old Russian rocket engines. Even if they were American manufactured engines, 40 years is still OLD compared to how much things have changed with rocketry.

astrobiology

That's a real thing? Sounds cool.

I don't think my wording is overly technical. I just think that they just aren't very good with linguistics or grammar.

Words like 'concise' or 'aspect' trip them up.

astrobiology

That's a real thing? Sounds cool.

Astrobiology is the study of the origin, evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe: extraterrestrial life and life on Earth. This interdisciplinary field encompasses the search for habitable environments in our Solar System and habitable planets outside our Solar System, the search for evidence of prebiotic chemistry, laboratory and field research into the origins and early evolution of life on Earth, and studies of the potential for life to adapt to challenges on Earth and in outer space.[2]

So, in conclusion, hell yeah it's cool.

Probably, times that I come back and there are multiple pages that I have not read.  I skip over to the last page.

You'd be surprised at how little rocketry has changed in the last few decades. Pretty much all launchers today are heavily based in technology developed during the space race. Hell the Soyuz rocket has been around since the late 60's and it's still the most reliable launch vehicle we've got (not to mention the only one currently sending people to orbit). As long as the engine wasn't physically 40 years old it's not really facepalm worthy.

[Aseaheru]

Alot of it is based on things from before then...

[Graknorke]

Did you know that the majority of our electrical infrastructure is based on technology discovered before the pyramids were built? Absolutely shocking!
