If you expand the pic (make it bigger...there I teed it up) the cheerleader on the far left has freaky eyes!
 
Remind me not to send my kid to Rutgers English or marketing classes...
What is currently driving me crazy is someone saying “I am bias”. Arghhhhhh.

You are biased. You have bias.

These are people who have graduated college. Tommy Rowlands on the TRow Show said it all the time. He said he would pick MyMar against Bo every time because he was “bias”

I think this is actually meme-speak, I've noticed "dominate" being used as an adjective instead of a verb for awhile now. However, it could just be that the world has gotten dumber and people genuinely mistaking dominate for dominant is a natural outgrowth. Not to be that old-guy, but respect for grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc., has taken a nosedive over the decades, and technology can certainly claim its share of blame (e.g., texting incentivizes abbreviations and acronyms, increased reliance on autocorrect, etc.).

They are dominate = I has cheezburger?

That’s a new one to me. Agree with Roar, leave the memification to the students then.

That said - you put it in quotes on an official site so no one thinks you missed 3rd grade
 
Seemingly easy for most, dominate and dominant get mixed up unbelievably often...from fans of all teams. Unacceptable for a college-connected site, imo...
In my first English class at PSU: "Elements of Style" by Strunk and White was a required purchase. It should be taught in HS, not wait for college.
 
Good vs well...I am constantly correcting my students who use good as an adverb.:mad:o_O

From what I hear, most gen-ed professors nowadays are resigned to the fact that they have to teach a majority of incoming freshmen how to write complete sentences, basic grammar before they can get busy with their actual subject matter.

I run grad programs and hand it out to all my students their first week...
 
We've had so much talent over this stretch, but Jordan will always make my list of favorites.

Little bit longer clip. Stalemate called, Jordan doesn't run, but is back to center circle very quickly. Graff, though, is slow to come back. I've got to believe that's when Jordan decided to seize it. Not to mention that Graff set the second shot up identically to the way he had the first. Couple of steps back, long straight shot. Jordan knew it was coming, and knew it was slow.
