amandacw:
Sort of related to your story about the dumb person in your class, I just got back from a class where this lady (who was at LEAST 30 years old, by the way) was giving a presentation on an artist and was saying that combining text with images was "the hallmark of his work" and she LITERALLY followed that by saying "Hallmark, you know, like they were on birthday cards and stuff." I almost freaked out. I probably should have freaked out.

yes you should have.
