dood. if you're curious, mike dombrowski's girlfriend and fellow UMCP ENGL grad student, alie stien actually teaches kids with graphophobia. apparently it's pretty f-ed up. i mean, they can't even see a freakin' stop sign without freaking out. seriously.

No kidding? That actually might be a pretty interesting diss. aside... hmmm.

You can't be serious! about "graphophobia" I mean. What does a freakin' stop sign have to do with that word, anyway. I guess the root word "graph" conjured up a stop sign. Last time I looked, the word in question is fancy-schmancy for "fear of writing." I don't the know if there's a word for fear of street signs, get back with you if I find one. Oops, I'd better STOP 'fore it's too late.
