Not only did the pseudo-anti-affirmative-action argument fall flat with my teacher, I used the word “niggling” in one part of the paper and was written up for racial insensitivity.

Thank your guardian angel that you didn't use the word niggardly.

LOL, we were all referencing the same word, niggard, from this article. Great minds think alike and write simultaneously!Looking it up on line, the Oxford Pocket Dictionary now lists it as ‘often offensive’. I wonder why - blame the Vikings I guess, and since I’m sure George has some Scandinoovian in him from somwhere, it is inevitably; “Bush’s Fault”!
