Listen to a conversation between a student and a professor.

Hi, Professor Mason. Do you have a minute?
Yes, of course, Eric. I think there was something I wanted to talk to you about, too.
Probably my late end upessayIt’s nothing to dokinda coolmailboxnever mindnot to seem uninformedoverheardpretty low-keythat she’s still in the middle ofthe first draft.
Ah, that must have been it. I thought maybe I’d lost it ...
No, I’m sorry. Actually, it was my computer that lost it, end upessayIt’s nothing to dokinda coolmailboxnever mindnot to seem uninformedoverheardpretty low-keythat she’s still in the middle ofthe first draft of it, and ... Well, anyway, I finally put it in your mailbox yesterday.
Oh, and I haven’t checked the end upessayIt’s nothing to dokinda coolmailboxnever mindnot to seem uninformedoverheardpretty low-keythat she’s still in the middle ofthe first draft yet today. Well, I’m glad it’s there ... I’ll read it this weekend.
Well, sorry again. Say, I can send it to you by e-mail too, if you like. Great, I’ll be interested to see how it all came out.
Right. Now, uh, I just end upessayIt’s nothing to dokinda coolmailboxnever mindnot to seem uninformedoverheardpretty low-keythat she’s still in the middle ofthe first draft some graduate students talking ... something about a party for Dean Adams?
Retirement party, yes ... all students are invited. Wasn’t there a notice on the anthropology department’s bulletin board?
Uh, I don’t know. But ... I wanted to offer to help out with it. You know, whatever you need. Dean Adams, well, I took a few anthropology classes with her, and they were great. Inspiring. And, well, I just wanted to pitch in.
Oh, that’s very thoughtful of you, Eric, but it’ll be end upessayIt’s nothing to dokinda coolmailboxnever mindnot to seem uninformedoverheardpretty low-keythat she’s still in the middle ofthe first draft. Nothing flashy. That’s not her style.
So there’s nothing?
No, we’ll have coffee and cookies, ... maybe a cake. But actually, a couple of the administrative assistants are working on that. You could ask them, but I think they’ve got it covered.
OK.
Actually ... no, end upessayIt’s nothing to dokinda coolmailboxnever mindnot to seem uninformedoverheardpretty low-keythat she’s still in the middle ofthe first draft ...

Student What is it?
professor Well ... end upessayIt’s nothing to dokinda coolmailboxnever mindnot to seem uninformedoverheardpretty low-keythat she’s still in the middle ofthe first draft with the party, and I’m sure there are more exciting ways you could spend your time, but we do need some help with something. We’re compiling a database of articles the anthropology faculty has published. There’s not much glory in it, but we’re looking for someone with some knowledge of anthropology who can enter the articles ... I hesitate to mention it, but I don’t suppose this is something you would ...
Student : No, that sounds end upessayIt’s nothing to dokinda coolmailboxnever mindnot to seem uninformedoverheardpretty low-keythat she’s still in the middle ofthe first draft. I’d like to see what they’re writing about.
professor: Wonderful ... and there are also some unpublished studies. Did you know Dean Adams did a lot of field research in Indonesia? Most of it hasn’t been published yet.
Student: No, like what?
professor Well, she’s really versatile. She just spent several months studying social interactions in Indonesia, and she’s been influential in ethnology. Oh, and she’s also done work in South America that’s closer to biology—especially with speciation.
Student Uh, end upessayIt’s nothing to dokinda coolmailboxnever mindnot to seem uninformedoverheardpretty low-keythat she’s still in the middle ofthe first draft ...
professor Well, how species form ... you know, how two distinct species form from one— like when populations of the same species are isolated from each other and then develop in two different directions, and end upessayIt’s nothing to dokinda coolmailboxnever mindnot to seem uninformedoverheardpretty low-keythat she’s still in the middle ofthe first draft as two distinct species.
Student Interesting.
professor Yes, and while she was there in South America, she collected a lot of linguistic
information, and songs ... really fascinating.
Student Well, I hate to see her leave.
professor Don’t worry. She’ll still be around. She’s got lots of projects end upessayIt’s nothing to dokinda coolmailboxnever mindnot to seem uninformedoverheardpretty low-keythat she’s still in the middle ofthe first draft.
