No, I hear stupid shit liek this all the time at the book store...

Went to look at the school list section, see what the kids are up to these days for literature.

See no fear Shakespeare Macbeth and Othello.

So I guess they don't even have to develop their own understanding of a text these days, just straight to a canned synopsis.

similar situation to op, mfw op's picture was my face
