Term: A CANCELLANDO

Definition: A cancellando is a term that comes from the Latin word "canceling." It refers to the act of canceling something, like a letter or a document, because it was granted in a way that goes against the law.

A more thorough explanation:

A CANCELLANDO

A cancellando is a term that comes from Law Latin and means "canceling." It refers to the act of canceling something, usually a legal document or letter, because it was granted contrary to the law.

According to William Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England, the lord chancellor or cancellarius is called a cancellando because he cancels the king's letters patents when they are granted contrary to law.

For example, if the king were to grant a patent to someone who did not meet the legal requirements, the lord chancellor would cancel the patent, or "cancellando" it, because it was granted contrary to the law.

Another example of a cancellando would be if a court were to cancel a contract because it was entered into under duress or fraud.

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on
I 100% agree with the self selection, I also am not even close to touching the medians there. However I think the huge PS plus the video and especially the very specific criteria for the why Berkeley essay is pretty crazy
I'm curious, how bold can one be in those videos? Is it worth making a satirical Jason Statham-action short if the adcoms have no sense of humor?
the more risk you take the higher chance of it backfiring
my instinct would be low humor bc if they have such a complex application I would feel hesitant to use a major part of it as a joke. They clearly take their admissions seriously and a joke video might convey the wrong thing at the wrong time. I think that humor is best put into a PS anecdote where it adds some shine to your personality
