I guess so if "Where Some Pac-10 Kids Snort Strawberry Pixie Stix" videos can be. :)
It's not even true. There are lots of reasons to look at your crotch and smile. Maybe not your own crotch but certainly some crotches.
Am I the only one who is irritated by the unnecessary capitalization and missing comma? I hope Lili isn't an English teacher.
Anthro Girl, you are not alone. The misuse of "their" with singular "crotch" annoys me too.
I like the variation, "Dear student, your hands are busy in your lap and you're looking at your crotch and smiling. i hope to God you're just texting."
"Their" is a perfectly acceptable ungendered singular possessive. It was used that way in the 15th century. I use it now. Suck it.
Sure, it's acceptable for poorly written but kinda funny signs posted on the classroom wall.
Sorta like the singular "you," eh, BB?
