One of my students today was confused about a grade on and English paper. He made the mistake of letting a peer read the funny parts to the class:
"When the character finally mated his adventure, he looked back on all he had done."
"Being mated with the ordeal was a great feeling for the main character and his family."
What a difficult way to find that "mate" doesn't mean "to finish" in quite the way he was thinking.
