Sometimes, it really pays to pay attention in Property class:

Prof: Why are the words "for the rest of their lives" better than "to live in" to create a life estate?
Student #1: Because that gives a specific duration.
Prof: [thinks for a second] I don't know...
Student #2: Because "to live in" is too unspecific when it comes to talking about a duration?
Prof: Yes! Exactly!

At that moment, the Earth started rotating in the direction of the force field created by 65 students simultaneously glancing up from their Solitaire games and looking around in confusion.
