War of the Words

Magic Word: sesquipedalian

The term paper is going to be returned today! Tim and I made a bet on which of our papers would make a higher grade; his sesquipedalian nightmare focused on appearing intelligent, or mine which worded to be simple and easy to understand. I mean, seriously, long-winded doesn’t mean that he’ll come out on top… didn’t he find a decoder ring in his cereal as a kid, only to discover that the message was “Remember to eat your Lucky Charms!”? Don’t waste the teacher’s time, just get to the point! That’s what I was always taught. Oh! Here she comes, those fifteen dollars are mine! Wait.. we both made the same grade… we were both too wordy. How in the hell…
