Give Mark Twain the benefit of the doubt - leave his words alone

Someone thought it would be a good idea to change some of the offensive words in a new edition of The Adventures of Tom Sawywer and Huckleberry Finn. Specifically, they changed the word "injun" to "Indian" (close enough but still wrong) and, more significantly, the word "nigger" to "slave".

The n-word appears 219 times in the book.

Auburn University English professor Alan Gribben is the editor of the 'updated' text.

I have no doubt that Gribben has his reasons for creating this new edition. I also have no doubt that he is a joke of an English teacher, and anyone that buys his book should be ashamed of themselves.

Two days to the build in TJ. The bad news is that my roommate decided to check his passport yesterday and it was expired. The good news is that it shouldn't be an issue, says people that know about this kind of thing.

When we're finished the place should look similar to Sagrada Familia cathedral (pictured). Or as similar as we can make it in 2.5 days of hard work. So, not similar at all then. But still nice.
