Quotation[edit]
I think this should be made a bit simpler.
"The rascal's consideration a prank at the teacher's expense would make him his mates' hero cancelled the consideration the principal's paddle will surely make him reconsider"
I was just like "what the...?!?!?", is this even a meaningful sentence? Qorilla 20:11, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Etymology[edit]
The etymology seems to say that this was formed in Modern English from consider + -ation. I'm pretty sure this predates Modern English; perhaps as far back as Classical Latin, predating English by over 1000 years. Mglovesfun (talk) 14:06, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
