THEN does not mean THAN.

Dear Psychology 1001 Staff:
    You're supposed to know that already because you're teaching college courses.
        Maybe Magical Trevor and Charlie the Unicorn need to show them to the way to magical Grammar mountain.

UGH.

My "Interpersonal Professional Communications" course's first quiz contains the line "Keep the following perimeters in mind"

Perimeter and parameter aren't really the same either, you dope-posing-as-a-teacher.... Sigh. I'm going to be SO glad to get out of this school in 2.5 months!!!

How about Extravert/Extrovert?

And there are so many apostrophe errors I want to start calling them catastrophe errors.

And I go to the U! It's supposed to be smarter than this. See!! THAN!

Teehee! Catastrophe errors!

Dude, some people I know, as well as I, will cross out and edit things on tests in the process of taking them. My TA was laughing at finding the grammar corrected.

I used to do that all the time.

Those things drive me crazy.

What really gets me is finding such things in online news, where the reporters are supposed to be professionals! I'm not even surprised that there are teachers at the U doing it.
