Thanks, I had a Criminal Justice Teacher say the same thing in an open class debate. The debate began with the word "ain't", which we all know was not listed as an actual word until about 15-20 years ago. It is a contraction for about six or more word combinations. "Ain't", is now in dictionaries and other literature but as a form of Non Formal English. In his class if we screwed up a statement due to verbiage we would have to leave the class and not return until we had written, an essay about the usage be it proper or improper. In his class, it was against the law (his) to use a contraction unless it was a quote. His tests were rough. His test essay questions would list an entire paragraph and omit one word, possibly two and we would have to place the proper word in the proper place. Most of the time it would be a blank in the space but sometimes it was not. We had to know the "letter of the law". I hated it but I definitely learned in his classes. I took six college classes that he instructed. He retired from the military as a colonel and is now a college professor. Hardtime http://www.geocities.com/arcticjohn88/arcticjohn88 |

Ok, sounds rather easy, like tard level easy , which word(S) is missing from
the following text. WTF When I went to school, one question on an exam would be to write down an entire section of the criminal code, and not a simple one. Grammer, spelling and punctuation counted, so if you missed a comma you lost 2 marks. Which word is left out, man, why didn't I go your scool and have it easy. Dan > His tests were rough.

If it had been a little more difficult or challenging, do you think he'd be
having so much trouble with grammar now? I think not. If it was really that advanced, I don't think he'd be having the trouble that he is now. Or perhaps it is just lack of application? I especially liked this bit: "I hated it but I definitely learned in his classes."

Yeah, I was kind of amused with that, but I didn't want to be the prick who brings it up first yet again. -- Jeff Goslin - MCSD - www.goslin.info It's not a god complex when you're always right |

Many times he would not omit a technical term but a simple "the", "and", or something to that effect. He loved case history, even the small cases. He gave us so many that he would even have the entire section or more on the quiz or test and place a number next to it like an actual fill in the blank essay. He would do this with the assumption that we would assume that there was something missing when in fact there was not. I fell for it once as I could not find a problem and took it as missed question (wrong) and was ready to take the hit on it. Then he had us grade our own papers and you could hear the chuckles and other things all over the classroom. Admittedly, I did miss some that he did that way but he got me the first time with that type of stressor. What is bad is when you go through all the training, stuff, and then 10-20 years later you have a job that does not pertain to any of your schooling or past experiences. However, for me it is a good thing. I used to carry a lot of stuff on the cuff if you know what I mean. It change and my wife definitely helped me to mellow out. Age has not, if you know what I mean. :-) |

I love it. Above may be bad use of grammar and it may not. Think about it. Some things may look or sound incorrect, but when you really look, it could be correct. ;-) I am not saying it is either way, I will let you say it if you want. However, I, like everyone else on this planet am not perfect. I have learned and forgotten a lot. Nevertheless, it is funny. :-) Have fun, and enjoy life. |
