So, I hate to brag, but I gave a very well recieved guest lecture in the class I'm TAing. One of the questions are on the topic of the lecture, plate tectonics and earthquakes.
I'm going through these marking them, and I'm pleased to see that no one has gotten lower than a 15 out of 20 points. This makes me feel great, becuase it was my lecture, and that shows they got the concepts. After about 10 of these in a row, I'm feeling like teh awsome.
Then I come across this one: "Oceanic-continental plate boundaries occur when the water help move the continental plate boundary a little fast causing underwater volcanoes to form."
Nooooooo!
I hope there's no more like this.

I wonder if that person might have been a foreign student whose English wasn't so good.
Of course, if whatever s/he said was totally wrong regardless of grammar, then don't sweat. As Jack says, there's always one.

Yeah, I know... it was kind of a joke.
I was feeling like Superman after all these great answers, and all of a sudden- BAM! Kryptonite.
