Rants and Raves


Rants —

Teenagers in Vermont who trashed the home of legendary American poet Robert Frost are being forced to take classes on his work as part of their community service.

Fourteen skydivers safely jumped out of their malfunctioning plane over Indiana last Monday; the pilot then crash-landed successfully.

Raves —

Seattle University officials crashed a party planned on Facebook during Memorial Day weekend.

A spell-check program butchered the last names of high school students in their yearbook at a school in Pennsylvania, bestowing the students with new and very odd names.

Seriously, do you really mean to imply that "Seattle University officials crashed a party planned on Facebook during Memorial Day weekend." is something to rave (be happy) about and that "Fourteen skydivers safely jumped out of their malfunctioning plane over Indiana last Monday; the pilot then crash-landed successfully" is something to rant (be upset) about?

Rant == be upset
Rave == be happy

I count three rant-worthy items and one rave in the wrong place.
