Perfect! 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.

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.

To, the word that was left out was to. Do I get extra credit if I find the
one that is misspelled?

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."
ROFL

:P
Cheers,
Daniel

want to be the prick who brings it up first yet again.

In actuality, it could be anything from a comma, period or whatever.
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. :-)

ROFLMBO
It was just reminiscing a little. 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.
