i hate partner papers
Okay, so i shouldn't complain too much because i have a smart partner but oh my gosh i want to punch her in the face and cry.  I feel like an idiot who's being forced to write someone elses words and i just keep seeing her looking at the things I write and being frustrated because it's not what she would say.  She suggested a change and when I started to make it she stopped me because I wasn't typing verbatim what she said.  Some things are dumb too, like I don't like breaking the flow of an argument to say "Aristotle says" before quoting Aristotle.  It's a quote, I can see it's a quote and I read it as such, there's no need for useless words.  I hate talking in this weird "we" or "you" statements as through everyone has to agree with what we're saying because it's the truth or worse that she and i know what everyone else does and should think.  I would rather keep my language in writing so that it only refers to the text.  "We wouldn't say something of the form "Socrates is Leo the Lion"... would be "Something of the form, "Socrates is Leo the Lion" would not be said.  I know this is a minor difference, but that minor difference is something that was changed from what I wrote to what she wanted written.  I just want to scream and I already left the room a few times for "water" just so I would start crying in front of her while she's changing everything I wrote and taking whole paragraphs out of the paper, okay only one paragraph, but I felt like it was important and I had to fight to keep other ones in.  Group papers/partner papers are idiotic.  What's so great about compromise if it stifles ideas?

yeah, the idea of writing a paper with someone else just sounds like bad news. i don't really know the context, but why can't everyone just write their own paper? it sounds like it would be a lot simpler and less stressful that way. anyway, you will get through it. i know your ideas are brilliant and like you said all these little word things probably don't actually matter at all. good luck =S
