Default 2p2 paper game!

This is coming a little late for many of you, but a lot of us still have papers and exams to finish up, so I'll introduce the game anyways. Basically, the goal is to insert a Two+two'ism into a paper, and then post the sentence or phrase in this thread. I'll start, just so everyone can have some inspiration and an idea for how the game works:

[ QUOTE ]
The once robusto and commanding Othello

[/ QUOTE ]

For the sentence to count it must actually appear in the final edition of a paper. Feel free to post clever ways to use acronyms or other 2p2'isms in papers, but don't cheat by saying that you actually used them.

I really wish this had happened two weeks ago so I could have inserted "Do you see why?" into my math paper. Or the lecture.

Maybe I can you it as data in my linguistics paper - it would be an example of do-insertion....

This is a great game.

I will continue this tradition for the rest of my college career. Too bad this year is over. Well, not to bad, but you know.

Poppa,

Since you started the thread you should be responsible for bumping it in September. The game sounds like it could be a blast.

Here's one from my comprehensive exams I had to take this morning:

[ QUOTE ]
The relationship between Jews, Gentiles, and early Christians was an incredibly complex one, influenced by religion (ldo), blah blah blah

excerpt from my final paper for a philosophy class:

"indeed, if this set holds (as is standard in materialism) then it is crucial..."

see this doesn't count. That's just a word that has been 2p2'ized that you are using normally. You would have to say "crucial" instead of "crucially" in a sentence for it to count. Like instead of "ship it crucially" we say "ship it crucial."

Oftentimes working these into papers will require obvious spelling or grammar errors. Still, I applaud both the fact that you are still writing papers and that you are in the spirit of the game.

I've got a philosophy paper coming up. I have little doubt I can work in some 2p2isms. Will post updates.
