this thread can be about anything, EVEN WAFFLES. don’t be disappointed, THERES WAFFLES. cheered up?

I LOVE WAFFLES. Thank you for cheering me up!

I’m curious about the mini-stroke analogy, though. What kind of thinking are you referring to that is hard to notice and can lead to a mini-stroke?

Kommand, although you wasted your own time by ignoring my disclaimers and my clarification of the pronoun “you”, I have no interest in spending mine to respond to most of your post.

Other than that misunderstanding, there is the issue of mental agility. I don’t buy the assertion that hesitation is a sign of misunderstanding material. You’ll have to support that claim if you want to sound convincing. And deal with the counterexample of a dyslexic English teacher who appears incoherent to the casual observer but, given time, can beautifully use the English language via refinement.

That’s a start to deconstructing my contempt for children who call their parents dumb for not-so-instantly recalling what they (parents) learned in school and not-so-easily applying it to their (childrens’) homework.
