x_los1. Buffy is blond, not retarded.
2. She and I have the same SAT score, and given that Buffy is not so hot with the math, as per her own admission, and really a verbal person, I'm betting she and I have similar breakdowns. I'd give her around, for her verbal score, a 790 of her 1430. I mean maybe she p0wned me and topped out verbal. I'm still mad, what was that fucking question? I had to have missed like two fucking things, which?! But I digress.
3. Ergo, Buffy knows words like 'efficacy.' She doesn't need to ask Willow what those Kooky Watchers said. She may not be the best read person ever, but we know damn well she has a good vocabulary and an extensive catalogue of refences. In a world where even Cordy can call Xander The Zeppo in cannon, I will barf if Buffy looks at Spike with big, soulful stupid eyes one more time and asks something inane like "What's Boxing Day?," or "But what do you mean by refencing Mother Goose? I just don't get it!" Dude. Giles raised the bitch. Don't ask, Buffy. You already know.
4. I should just fucking write Buffy fic, 'cause at least I can write a voice with the basic grasp of English that Buffy quite explictly posesses. Based on cannon I have to assume that, excepting words pertaining to specialized interests and readings, at my age she knows every word I know.
5. Furthermore, no one on the show is dumb. Not even Cordy. Fuck, Riley is even functioning. I hear tell he's litterate! So stop writing Dur!Spike, because that's an Oxbridge accent in flashbacks, and he had to have graduated to get it, and enough with KinderXander, because the boy's witty, even if he's not my fav. Jesus! Give the show credit!
Also I get kind of mad when Giles and Joyce get all "Regardless of your poor grades, these magical scores will get you in anywhere, starshine!" ...Dude. I go to UIowa. case in point.
"“But this is the same ritual I was referring to earlier,” he argued. “And this affords a different interpretation of its efficacy.”
"Buffy leaned into her best friend. “It’s what-cacy?” she whispered.
“Effectiveness,” came the whispered response."
AUGHHHHHH!
