sister_luckSometimes a pen is just a writing implement and not a verb meaning "to shut an animal or a person in a small space".
On the other hand, I would give extra points for creativity to someone who latched on to the double meaning and argued that by writing about someone with your pen you actually shut this person into a pen, because the words are limited to what you want to express about this person.
Am I a bad teacher for not anticipating this vocabulary problem?
