"Onerous consistency" and "vapor" are really poor substitutes for the intended original phrasings. They're not imaginative, but rather are inaccurate or misleading. As a silly internet game, it's all good of course; the aphorisms are still readily decipherable--but I think as an exercise in English, the teacher would (and should) want to do better. I mean, don't just pull crap off the internet without vetting it, teach. :nonono2: ;)
SOLUTION: Your daughter should totally negotiate for extra credit in return for providing a selection of some reasonably accurate--while still amusingly obscure--cognates. PARTY TIME, OH YEAH!!!
:cussing: I just noticed I didn't even spell the word daughter's correctly in the thread title. :eek: I hate it when I do dumb stuff like that.
^^^ Dude, you already got the board to do your daughter's homework for her! What are you, fucking Tom Sawyer? Here's your brush back and I'm not gonna give you any more help being a shitty father... :DQuote:
