I'm working on a freelance proofreading project -- the bulletin of the graduate school of arts & sciences. Good night, they teach a lot of classes here. A lot of them sound quite interesting, but of course there are always ones like these:

General Economic Theory: Microeconomics
Introduction to optimization methods and parital equilibrium. Theories of utility and consumer behavior production and firm behavior. Introduction to uncertainty and the economics of information, and to noncompetitive market structures.

*cringe*

WTF is "partial equilibrium," anyway? Never mind -- I don't want to know. Oh, and I like "introduction to uncertainty." Sounds like something from a contemporary-lit class (though of course we English majors call it "incertitude" because we're geeks like that).

Do you think I'd get away with it if I marked some really weird corrections? You know, like right in the middle of a sociology course description, I could mark, "insert 'fagabefe.'"

Hell...

...I majored in uncertainty, and got my Masters in confusion.

I knew it! You taught every single one of my classes from '92 to '94!

I thought you looked familiar.

That's why I stick to Chemistry and Math. I'm such the geek.
