Yes, I looked it up. I don't think I am better than these people. I'm sure they have math abilities or cooking talents I can't touch. I'm just saying that it grates on my last nerve to be in a class and have the following violations committed:

Pacific. Not as opposed to Atlantic, but as in "a pacific plan." You mean SPECIFIC.
