Overheard on a train between two apparent friends in their teens, a girl and a boy. The girl spoke American English, the boy accented English and she was helping him practice his English. They closed their book and were quiet for awhile when the boy says to the girl, “I am boring.” And in an exasperated voice she replies, “NO Bill, it’s BORED, you are BORED, not borING. This is why no one wants to hang out with you, you are always telling them you are boring!”
