out of curiosity...

Impact.  
Can neither be a verb nor a gerund correct?

you can't say impacting? actually i'm probably the worst english speaker ever so maybe i have no idea.

I really think you can only use it as a noun unless you're talking about molars. I almost care enough to look it up but not quite. I instead simply circle it on my students' papers and let them worry about it. I should start circling their names too.

i like the idea of circling their names
though i do remember when i was one of those tortured ge cluster kids.
anyways, also just thought i should speak up so you know i'm reading-- there is an audience out there of at least more than just lauren!
