The Friday section offers movie reviews by local high school students. A review on Nov. 17 by Caitlin Creevy of Evanston is noteworthy for its deplorable excess of ”valley-speak.”

The phrases ”total sexpot,” ”totally,” ”nerdfig,” ”dorkess-morkess” and ”studmonger” made me wince.

The fact that Ms. Creevy writes in this manner makes me cry for her journalistic future and the future of the Evanston educational program.
