Hey tam, in a lab report, during the procedure portion of it, is it ok to use "I"? It feels so wrong but the only note he gave us was to list "your exact procedure" which seems to indicate the use of the first person. Depends on the prof, but no, ideally, there's no use of first person. That's what I thought, my professor just is fond of odd phrasings.... no, "your exact procedure" just indicates the exact procedure used. what about "exact" means "first-person?" SCIENCE at the top of the page means SCIENCE WINS

Unfortunately for science, the grand prize was cancer. Sorry, science, you had a good run.

"your" Going as far to say that your steps may be different than the ones provided, include every step "you" made to the greatest detail so that anyone else may be able to take the same steps "you" did. This is our first lab report and not once did he make any distinctions about how we should actually do this aside from "do it"

Obviously you should do it in disgustingly self-flattering third person. "Nappuccino glanced over at the first beaker with his clear blue eyes, the color of the ocean on a sunny day. "30 milliliters", he remarked to himself, "same as the number of sexual partners I have bedded in the last week."

This is our first lab report and not once did he make any distinctions about how we should actually do this aside from "do it" yeah, I know what you mean. when I did 'em, I always just took that sort of statement to mean "write the procedure in third person, but the way you did it." because deviations from the actual procedure happen all the time (or at least they did for me). he says that so you're sure to account for that, because it can change the results. you know, AOB, you just got to make me feel inadequate. you're worse than my non-present father. [edit] wait, I guess that makes you better...or better at being worse.

"30 milliliters", he remarked to himself, "same as the number of sexual partners I have bedded in the last week." I bedded 30 millileters of sexual partners? Hurray me! @Srsizzy: I agree: that makes much more sense to do. I just wanted to be sure in case it really was supposed to be 1st person. I believe some of the Psychological reports I read were written that way, and while its not quite the same thing, that lingering doubt was enough to make me ask

haha what is that an actual book? with words in it?

Bacon are you not familiar with the harlequin romance series? It's literary porn.

Well I've heard of "romance novels" before, but I'm not so familiar with them that I can tell if that's a parody of them or not. EDIT: I'm going to play the synonym game with that title: -Kidnapped, at the Superior's Order- South American Horndog, Surprise Oops-baby

Oh yes. There are more. There are 182, and mostly they involve the word 'ruthless' and accidental babies. (That last one is my favorite)

most of those sound like rape

most of those sound like rape Most? Which one doesn't?

oh dear god I can't believe those are serious porn is way better

The Ruthless one. Deff doesn't sound like rape.

most of those sound like rape Most? Which one doesn't? the very first one she posted sounds much less rapey

ahahaha I guess date-rape is just a fineable offense in Argentina and Mediterranean countries, so billionaires just pay the $100000 ticket and get off scot free? Or do they have to take some court-ordered "Drinking and Not Raping" courses to keep the points of their rape license as well?

I would go just to draw ninja jaguars and shit... and I would encourage it. I'm horrifyingly awesome as a teacher.

Sometimes they're your boss or your doctor or your doctor boss. You know. Also, Tam, yeah. Read small print. The top small print says "Taken: At the Boss's Command'. I don't know about anyone else, but if my boss commands that I am taken, I usually quit the eff out.

Hey let's not jump to conclusions on that title, it could be totally innocent: "Give me that!", demanded the boss. "What is this, anyway? 'Playhombre Argentinio'?" "Hey give me that back, you bastard!" The boss was taken aback. "You...how...how did you know that I was of illegitimate birth!? I thought noone knew!"
