• Every verb you use is 'to moodle'.

• You go into a Chinese restaurant and ask for a side order of Moodles with your Egg Foo Young.

• You talk about Moodle so much that your non-Moodling, non-native English speaking husband asks if the noodles on the plate in front of him are moodles and when you ask him if that is what he meant to say he replies, "Yes, aren't they moodles?" (based on a true story)

• You know that the course id for Moodle in English is 5.

• And even if you drive a car, you always drive it in 5th gear.

• You throw away all but the orange M&M's.

• You eat all but the orange M&M's (and keep it for good feng shui in your desktop).

• If instead of saying Have a good day you begin greeting folks by saying Happy Moodling! and even worse when you actually believe that the two statements mean the same thing. {Based on a true story}

• If normal words start being morphed into Moodle-isms. For example, when someone asks How are you? you begin to reply with words like Moodle-rrific and Moodle-tastic. Subsequently, you get confused when someone gives you a quizzical look because they do not understand what have just said. {Based on a true story}
