Typos and Fretting Generally


Recommended Posts

I got an acceptance from Toronto's Medieval Studies program the other day, and — does anyone else do this? — went back to read my application. Instead of feeling a warm glow of awesomeness, I noticed that my application contained at least two sentences that just make no syntactic sense. One was missing a verb. The other's a Frankenstein's derpy monster of at least two different sentences: "Augustine’s Confessions, in which, I have argued, Augustine draws from Roman theatre culture to have made itself amenable to odd texts, then the reappearance of the Confessions, perhaps the most quizzically received and politely ignored of Augustine’s works, confirms it."

Semantic sense < clause cuddle-puddles.
