Math is more important in the grand scheme of the universe than English.

Thanks for debating!...

I will be arguing that Marsellus Wallace does, indeed, look like a b*tch while my opponent will be arguing that, no, he doesn't. First round is acceptance. Second round will be arguments. Third round...
