So*, I'm currently studying for my last (ever!) law exam. The unit has a webCT page, including a forum devoted to tutorial and exam discussion. Given the exam is on Friday, the exam discussion board is fairly heavy with traffic at the moment.

I posted a query and the reply from the lecturer didn't really answer what I was asking. I presumed that was because I had phrased my question badly and posted as much.

I then went and blamed my bad phrasing on too much study. Not bothering to preview my post, I posted it and then re-read it.

Ooops. I left out one little letter. A 'y'. And there are no editing facilities.

The beginning of my post:

quote:
I must not have been very clear in my question. Side-effect of too much stud I suspect.

I have already had two private messages from friends commenting on how happy I must be in my marriage.

Oh for an edit button!

That's just so wonderful, Imogen. I'm so happy for you that Tony keeps you well taken care of. [ROFL]

It could be worse.

You could have attempted to blame something on lack of study.

*tries not to laugh*

I turned bright red when I realised.

And then laughed uncontrollably.

I have posted a correction.

I'm not sure that will help.

Nope, it will only draw more attention. [Evil Laugh]
