I just had to think way too much about grammar and ending sentences with prepositions and where that's acceptable and stating the object earlier in the sentence.  Stupid NCLB, wanting every child to be accounted for.  It LIES.  It wants every child's EDUCATION to be accounted for. I think. My point here is that it sucks.

Also, if you ever want to

I'll have to get back to you on why NCLB is stupid, but DEAR SWEET MOTHER OF FUZZY NO SINGLE WORD SHOULD HAVE THAT MANY DEFINITIONS. :P

I know why it's dumb. I have an essay written on the dumb. It's a crappy essay right now, but still.

Mostly, yes, I agree with the caps.

Though I'd love to see the etymology that leads to all those blasted definitions.

I don't remember what a preposition is... but I know how to find the area of a cylinder beneath a paraboloid.

All I know is "aboard, about, above, according to, across, after, against..." and then I forget.
