One time during elementary school we are reading a poem by "e.e. cummings". I asked my teacher why his name isn't capitalized. My teacher told me it was "artistic license." For a while I thought there was an actual "artistic license" that you have to apply for and get, like a driver's license, and only if you had an "artistic license" were you allowed to violate the rules of syntax.

- When I was in elementary school I use to think that teacher lived at school at their desks all year long.Anon
- When I was in kindergarten, I used to believe that they locked the teacher's in the teacher's lounge at night.Anon
- I used to think that my teacher lived at school until she came to school late one day. I was shocked!— Wow, you have a life?!
