One of my students' vocabulary words last week was "extol," which means "to praise extravagantly." While grading their quizzes, I came across this gem of a sentence:
"Whenever my dog goes to the bathroom outside, I have to extol it."
After I stopped laughing, I wrote on her paper, "What must you praise? The dog, or what it leaves behind?"
