Pronunciation

Why is american pronunciation so bad? It irritates me. Do i need consuling?
gracias

ANSWER PERSON RESPONDS: I can’t tell anything about pronunciation from your question, but the grammar and spelling are definitely in sad shape. You may need consoling for your irritation; and an editor for your writing. !De nada!

Iced Cream

What is the greatest flavour of ice cream? Is it superman? Why doesnt duke have superman? Can you get it for us please?
Thank you.

ANSWER PERSON RESPONDS: The most popular flavor continues to be vanilla. I know, it goes with everything. Superman doesn’t even make the top 15–in fact, vanilla is more popular than everything else, past #2-#14, combined. Talk with the food service people–AP would like to try it.

Signal

Don’t you think that it his high time you got some sort of signal, similar to the batsignal? The floodlight on the Chapel Quad could be utilized for this purpose

ANSWER PERSON RESPONDS: What a cool idea! Perhaps a large question mark! I can see it now, a large question mark shining on the Chapel, or, even better, looming huge in the clouds above!

Inuendo

Can I cross-reference you like you’ve never been cross-referenced
before?

ANSWER PERSON RESPONDS: Only Answer Person knows how AP has been cross-referenced before, so you are at a disadvantage in trying to accomplish a unique event . . whether you count points for intensity or style.

love

What should my friend hoo ah do about his insatiable crush on lin? I am not sure if they are right for each other, but they should try, don’t you think?
Cheers

ANSWER PERSON RESPONDS: Gee, what an unusual question? Seems like Answer Person gets asked a LOT of relationship questions. Seems like they should work it out for themselves. Seems like if it is meant to work, it will; if not . . . oh well.

Placard

What’s the deal with that placard on the chapel quad, and why hasn’t anyone removed that disgraceful piece of garbage? Who put it there in the first place? This university is supposed to be for everyone, right? How can we get it removed? Thank you!
Peace!

ANSWER PERSON RESPONDS: Let’s see if I have this correct:
“This university is supposed to be for everyone, right?” Except for the people who put up the placard?
