I like how the word "provoked" is spelled with a "k". It makes it so fiery and feisty. Grrr.
I don't know how else you would spell it, perhaps "provoqued"? It looks awful but for some reason the "k" doesn't seem natural. It's probably because in Spanish you say "provocar", and then you conjugate the third person in the past tense "provocó". Clearly would not work in English with a "c".
It's like when restaurants call themselves "La Kasa del Taco", or like those few that write in MSN "ke quiere?"... There's just something wrong there! Except, nothing's wrong with "provoked", only in my Spanish-prescribed mind.
Haha, now I made myself laugh... Well not really because I'm at the library but internally, and I'm expressing it through my keyboard: HA HA HA!
Who knew that I would sit and think of this for some solid 10 minutes just because I'm using the book Rethinking the Development Experience: Essays Provoked by the Work of Albert Hirschman for my paper.
ProvoKed. Grrrr. Provoked, provoked, provoked!
I really need to step outside of the library and get a life.
Once more, provoked. Lost all meaning now.
ku klux klan.
