Don't ye hate leaving cert students

Mint Aero

Ever listen to them on the radio or tele doing interviews for the news. Trying to use big words in every sentence. Christ they're a pain.

Not really, to be honest.

Agree but did hear one of them on d'radio saying she would go for a few "socialables" during the exams....don't hate them but do hate their wannabe D4/US stupid language

Education can be intimidating for some.

Consider this your engraved invitation to join the English language (or any other language you consider "normal"). People who know what words precisely fit their intended meaning are not obliged to dumb their thinking down for you. Yes, I am a bit contumelious about this, but then again, people like you hire me to write things for them.

Translation: Cop on and learn your own language; don't make other people learn it for you and then sneer at them while you pay them to do your word work.

Hande hoche!

They suffer, so that we may enjoy the good weather.

I know plenty of big words too but their not appropriate for ever day conversation. Sooner these nerds learn that the better.

Love them! They almost unfailingly bring us a few weeks of annual sunshine!

Plenty of time to brush up on your smaller ones so!

Could be worse. They could be spouting shít on internet discussion boards

Autocorrect mistakes are fine. A+

It's the constant dribble of clichés. Someone should write a book of sh*t LC students say.

Wouldn't it be too hard to research all the spellings ?

Maybe go with an audio recording / podcast ?

I rest my case.

It's the constant annual advice on how to fill out CAO forms I find annoying,as if they wouldn't know.

I'd rather listen to them than you.

I actually thought you WERE a leaving cert student...?

In any case, I think RTE go out of their way to find what they think are the brightest future for Ireland. Being an annoying and arrogant twat and being a national equivalent of a Mummy's Boy goes hand in hand.

Is there some way I can harvest their youth, enthusiasm and potential to sustain and bolster my own flabby and jaded cynicism?

Most of them are, or were until a week ago.

Just wait until August when they're interviewing the kids who got 8 A1's because their parents sent them to a hothouse grind school.

This intrigues me. May I ask why you would stifle your own conversation?

As for leaving students I have one taking exams this year. We are both finding that the content of gin bottle is helping us through the worst panic attacks.

Giving your kid Gin isn't a great idea.

Ah they're alright OP. Except those ones that'll be paraded around the results time for getting 9 Higher A1's or something. They should be shot. It's sad in a way though, nobody thought to tell them there's no point and it really doesn't matter.

You know wheelbarrow and marmalade are not considered "big" words ;-)
