-- A Healthcare Co-worker

You mean this person had some sort of training in healthcare? And still thinks that vaccines cause autism? And that it can be developed in adulthood? And that it's somehow contagious?

And also thought that you were disguising the fact that the flu shot was a vaccine?

That's at least four facepalms. I don't have that many palms.

But that many faces you have?

However many people are in the room with her at any given moment.

I would dearly love to :facepalm: on someone else's face sometimes..

People can work in healthcare without having any college, much less science coursework, or they can get through on Cs, technically.

Editing catch of the day: "differenchiate".

Porter · « **Reply #1558 on:** October 27, 2015, 11:01:22 AM »

It's a perfectly understandable spelling.

Jonathon · « **Reply #1559 on:** October 27, 2015, 11:10:11 AM »

English spelling really is terrible.

I'm trying to come up with a less controversial statement that isn't a tautology.

I'm failing.

But here are the two closest I could come up with:

Puppies are really cute.

The Star Wars prequels were a disappointment.

My brain keeps trying to process that as an actual word (other than the one it's supposed to be, I mean) but I can't decide what the definition would be.

Something to do with dentistry, maybe.

Quote from: listserv

Welcome to today's episode of: What Does That Degree Really Mean Anyway? Today's contestant is the [specific degree]. (If you don't offer a [specific degree], then you may take your lovely parting gifts now.)

1. What differentiates the [specific degree] from the BA?

2. How many credits are in your [specific degree]?

Thanks for playing!

I'm not sure I understand.

rivka · « **Reply #1564 on:** October 28, 2015, 09:17:35 PM »

It's like a gameshow! But it's really a question about how various schools handle a particular kind of specialized degree!

(Ok, maybe this is another one only funny to registrars.)

BFA, actually.

Tante Shvester · « **Reply #1567 on:** October 29, 2015, 09:01:59 AM »

I have a BA, BS, and BSN.

pooka · « **Reply #1568 on:** October 30, 2015, 12:38:39 PM »

What are your BA and BS in?

Tante Shvester · « **Reply #1569 on:** October 30, 2015, 01:01:54 PM »

English and Psychology.

Just 'cause the way it worked out, I managed to acquire all that in only four undergraduate years.

Cool.

Is T-Rex a contributing author?

Jonathon · « **Reply #1573 on:** November 24, 2015, 10:11:06 AM »

Sadly, no, but that really does sound like a T-Rex line.
