Valentine's Day

Here's a valentine I got from one of my students:



It might be hard to read, but all of those little hearts say, "You are a we-ary good tea-cher."  We-ary, of course, doesn't mean "worn out" but is the phonetic spelling (at least in German) of "very."  But it is sort of amazing how with language you can be wrong and accurate at the same time, often without even noticing it.  I'm going to go take a nap now.
