Professor Groom,

I would never make fun of you.

I originally thought you were talking about valence electrons. I had to look it up.

Please do not rectify me, with zombies or anything else.

Sincerely,

A mere k12 plebeian

Mr Woodward,

Why do you do Zombie vocabulary pictures to help people learn new words, and then make fun of me for using a 2 dollar word like valence? If this keeps up, I will find you and bring on a zombie horde that will help rectify this kind of erratic behavior. No one, I mean no one, messes with my very finely tuned vocab.

Consider yourself admonished!

Valence, eh? Sounds like another vocab word I need to work on.

I don’t know what’s got me in the zombie mood. I think maybe it’s a reaction to Christmas. I never have liked Christmas music.

Shame it didn’t occur to me during Halloween though.

I’m getting ready to write about the growing importance of Zombies in the cultural imagination as of late. It is really interesting to me how much valence Zombies have these days, and particualrly online. I’m playing the apocalyptic Zombie game Left 4 Dead, and it is truly amazing how much this game fits the moment and the ideas we have been throwing around. It is a team game, you have to collaborate to survive, and you are really embedded as much in an interactive film as you are playing a game–the boundaries are changing for the this genre.

Also, I saw this bumper sticker yesterday, and dediced I need it!

Anyway, all to say I love the zombie vocabulary essons. I’m all about learning through the undead.
