Ay... my fourth-grade science teacher not only
couldn't pronounce any of the names of the rocks and
minerals we were talking about in our geology unit
correctly, despite there being pronunciation guides
next to each name, but she also insisted that all the
planets' orbits were perfectly round! After all,
that's what the picture in the textbook showed, and of
*course* the textbook is *always* right! ;)
Onward,
