- Case in point. I read that from the thread and agree with it but I also think that applies to every new crop of grads. - Reagen Jul 13, 13:21
A number of online dictionaries list "hampster" as a valid spelling or alternate spelling. MW does not. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 10:26 2
- Regardless of valid alternative spellings or not, there are such things as style guides and this person will bomb out of - Reagen Jul 13, 12:17 1
  - The point I failed to fully make is that they might have been failing to see the authority of one source over another online. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 12:50
Another product of our participation trophy society. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 13, 10:19 17

  - I think they're similar ideas. - Strongbad Jul 13, 11:06 12
    - Re: participation trophies - they're not for the kids and kids know exactly what they're worth. -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 12:18 1

        I've only come across two students with the "I'm perfect how dare you tell me I'm wrong" syndrome - Reagen Jul 13, 12:35 6

        I'm just hyper vigilant with myself about making broad generational judgements, especially about younger ones - Reagen Jul 13, 13:19 1

        (like, if this happened in 1995, how would anyone ever hear about it?) -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 12:55
- The multiple stories of parents calling their child's boss ... that's so absurd, for anyone over 18. Even over 16, except for special circumstances. - Beryllium Jul 13, 10:27 1
  - Until the mom got involved it seemed perfectly normal for a "young person story". -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 12:20

- A boss speaking calmly, supportively, and such? Mmm. I dunno. -- nm - Qale Jul 13, 10:45
If you think there's no P in hamster, you've never held one in your hand. -- nm* - Baronfiki Jul 13, 09:58 1
