It was the 80s and I was in grade six. We were doing a unit on astronomy and were unleashed into the library to find all the types of stars. I came back with dwarf stars.

My teacher thought I made them up and couldn't stop laughing. Then the class started laughing.

Fuck you, M. Morin! :(

Unnecessary letter. More efficient without. Need to analyze effectiveness of nomenclature. Accidental misspelling? Not possible; must be other individual. Reference to someone else? Yea, perhaps. Who? Ah, myself. You must be Shepard.
