She either felt it was a lost cause , or was putting all of her effort into squelching her laughter.The blank stares from the rest of his group , who were standing at his side waiting for their turn to be over , and from the rest of the class confirmed that they either did n't notice , or that they thought it was correct.After the group was finished , the teacher quietly explained to my friend ( who had committed the error ) why we had been smirking , squirming in our seats , and frantically biting our tongues.He was reading " The Raven " , by Edgar Alan Poe.For those unfamiliar...Once upon a midnight dreary , while I pondered weak and weary,Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,While I nodded , nearly napping , suddenly there came a tapping,As of some one gently raping , raping at my chamber door. ` 'T is some visitor, ' I muttered , ` tapping at my chamber door -Only this , and nothing more .

<sentencetext>Was using the term "rapped" in the summary of the article necessary?
It gets rather old watching the word used so flippantly.A friend of mine made the same mistake many years ago.
It was an English Literature class, and we had a group project where we had to stand up and present about various poetry.When it was his group's turn, they stood in front of the class and began talking about and reading the same poetry that we had all been required to read and discuss - making the entire exercise completely pointless.My friend was simply reading the poem allowed, from a printed copy when he committed the error.The teacher heard it, I heard it, and a (different) friend heard it.
My friend and I shot each other a glance - a terrible mistake, because I believe we now both got ulcers from containing our laughter.My friend at the front of the class continued, blissfully unaware of his mistake.
The teacher made no attempt to correct him.
She either felt it was a lost cause, or was putting all of her effort into squelching her laughter.The blank stares from the rest of his group, who were standing at his side waiting for their turn to be over, and from the rest of the class confirmed that they either didn't notice, or that they thought it was correct.After the group was finished, the teacher quietly explained to my friend (who had committed the error) why we had been smirking, squirming in our seats, and frantically biting our tongues.He was reading "The Raven", by Edgar Alan Poe.For those unfamiliar...Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,As of some one gently raping, raping at my chamber door.`'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door -Only this, and nothing more.

	<htmltext>How about a system where all legal aid is supplied say by the state. This could then be combined with a form of "loser pays" or giving the legal representation for free. Essentially everyone would then get the same lawyers no matter who they are, the number and quality of the lawyers given to both sides could be decided based on the importance of the case to society. <br> <br>
I think the drawbacks to such a system are pretty obvious, you put all of the legal power in the hands of the state and it would cost everyone in taxes but there might be something to it.</htmltext>

<tokenext>I like the idea of " loser pays " until you need to file a suit against someone with unlimited resources .
Personally , I 'd like to see the method amended to only cover the cost of the lowest fees.In other words , if you sue me and you spend $ 1000/hour on legal , but I only spend $ 100/hour , I only have to reimburse you for $ 100/hour .
If your total fees were $ 100,000 and mine were only $ 10,000 , I 'd have to pay you $ 10,000 in " loser pays " fees .</tokentext>
