exemplify and usurp? why, that's practically baby talk for Mr. Montague!
I still remember 2nd grade. Andy and I were sharing a lovely camembert while smoking pipe tobacco discussing the various merits of red wine with french cheese, and Andy turned to me and said "A man may see how this world goes with no eyes. Look with thine ears: see how yond justice rails upon yon simple thief. Hark, in thine ear: change places; and, handy-dandy, which is the justice, which is the thief?"
I mean I said words like "ambiguity, moreover, and adhere" in the first two pages. I guess they don't classify as being as advanced as exemplify and usurp on the third page =P
are you kidding? that's the sophisticated language? are people retarded? i'm not bragging or anything, but i haven't read a book in almost two years, and i know what all of those mean.
one of my friends had to do peer editing for a paper, and the girl who read his said she didn't like the paper because she couldn't understand the language. the words were on the same level as exemplify. i have no hope for people.
haha well, I mean, I honestly probably would have told my dad to hold off even if he did submit my paper to the committee. I certainly would have taken it to his superior after that though. Suing would have been the absolute absolute last resort.
I mean I've seen the guys' two young kids, and english professors hardly make much as it is...I'd feel bad having to resort to that
I think your professor's colleagues need to review him.
Is there any way you could, yannow, whisper in his superior's ear? Mention that you nearly got punished for trying to exercise and improve your writing skills? Argh I would be seething.
Anywho, glad his colleagues have their heads on straight, even if he doesn't. And congrats on the 3.0!
I gave him a break because this was only his third quarter teaching or what not. My dad looked over my paper and he saw no inconsistencies and he knows english far better than I, and probably a lot of professors do. Really it didn't make any sense.

Oh, Andy. Such a joker.
Loves them toucans.
