Oh sweetie the more you know...... post away! I only knew 2 of those words...... so I learned something new today... why would I smack someone for edumicashun?!?!?
 
"Despite his dysania, the martinet waxed loquacious over the upcoming syzygy."

Dysania= excessive desire to stay in bed
Martinet= a strict taskmaster, especially in military use
Loquacious= wordy
Syzygy= three celestial bodies lined up, like the earth, moon, and sun in an eclipse

Most of the time people say ear when referring to the earlobe. The color of the earlobe shows egg color, generally. Red earlobe is brown eggs, white earlobe is white egg. Behind that little tuft of feathers is an ear canal.

Interesting. Now I have to go molest a few of my chickens to discover their ears.
 
Let me take you on a tour of my chickens.
i have four chickens: Hannah, April, Dove, and Nicole.
Hannah and April are two peas in a pod. They are ISA Browns, and are amazing egg layers. They are very friendly, but sometimes they annoy my mom, because they will stay on our porch looking for handouts, and they poop all over it.
Nicole is a very flighty barred rock. When I trying to catch her and put her to bed, I have often ended up tripping on her because she is so desperate to escape, and then apologizing profusely as she walks away indignantly.
Dove is... special. She is a chocolate orpington, and more rare than the other birds. She chases moths through the air and looks really silly. She doesn't seem to understand the concept of egg laying. She'll go to the nesting box, sit there for an hour or so, then waltz out looking proud, and the egg will fall out as she strolls down the ramp.

I know you asked those here to write up something, but have you considered checking out the new member introductions too? You could copy some of those to a word document, make corrections & save them for future needs. You could even save some of them and have him make the corrections to grammar, capitals, and punctuation. Whenever I read those I'm mentally making corrections. I swear it's a unannounced contest for the world's longest run-on sentence.
