     How sexist is the gaming world? Okay, I will admit that I know very little about gaming. I played a lot of Mario Kart when I was younger, and I’m really good at Tetris, but that’s about all I’ve got. However, I’m really interested in this topic, so I did a bit of research on wikipedia about it a bit ago after watching a movie called Lara Croft: Tomb Raider . I’m not exactly sure how I landed on that movie, but somehow, I ended up watching it. I haven’t seen any of the sequels, or the remake, but I generally know what they’re about.

Come one, come all I have begun a new endeavor I give to you The A-words with an A+ A few days ago, I decided I must annotate the dictionary. Specifically, A Student's Dictionary (23rd edition). Now, it's taking quite a bit of time, and I don't exactly have an excess of hours to write this blog post. So, I will be talking through the first few pages of words starting with the letter "a".  First of all, what exactly am I writing in said dictionary? I'm giving my general thoughts on words, taking into account their meanings, sounds, spelling, and random statements that come to mind when seeing a word. I'll be focusing on the words "a" through "achieve" for this post. That way, it isn't the length of 40 football fields. So far, I've noticed that there are a lot of words with the same prefixes. Starting off with the first page of words, page 7 in my dictionary, we begin with all the "ab..." words. There are too many of the...
