Culling the nuts...

MonkeyBoy was busy copying homework from the board when his teacher began to speak:

"The word of the day is simian."

Only she pronounced it SIM-MAYAN

MonkeyBoy choked, excused himself, and checked his dictionary to make sure that there was not some secondary accepted pronunciation that he was unaware of. There was not. She repeated the word all through the day...MonkeyBoy almost wet himself.

Culling the nuts...a term our school system should really familiarize themselves with...
