Ok.

So.

Here we go again. Here's my fav from this round. I'm copying the grammar errors on purpose....

Enjoy:

I believe if Matt Heid was continue to do good in school, he will have a good education (really? I thought that was always the purpose of education?). Also, he might would be able for a good job in the long run. His ( Read more... )

yes. a college JUNIOR. sigh. I had to read 300+ of those gems last night. Some weren't too bad but some.... mary mother of god....

I've said that so many times too! Poor sayyida, having to slog through this... fertilizer.

I did see your LJ post but have had my computer in bits while my office is painted. Need I post there as well to request to remain friended? I enjoy your posts, though I've been a serious slacker about responding. *blushes*

oh no, love. someone else. maybe? I was merely posting that i hoped none of my friends fell into that category as I didn't want to offend.

hugs and loves

You know, the bad thing is that grammar check might have caught a few of these if they'd only used it. It also tells me that the person didn't read over it. If they had, they would have seen that it doesn't make any sense.

sayyida_jaida October 23 2007, 15:48:54 UTC

maybe.

in their defense... it was hand written and not typed.

starsfallforus October 23 2007, 16:24:13 UTC

oh poor dear. that gave me a headache...i can't imagine doing any more.

tell me the handwriting was at least legible...

sayyida_jaida October 23 2007, 16:35:28 UTC

some was. some was.... um... NOT

sunflowerkudi October 23 2007, 20:50:25 UTC

At times I thought Im bad, then I see this, and I feel better :P

sayyida_jaida October 24 2007, 05:19:20 UTC

It is significantly painful. But I've read your writing before. I can honestly say I don't think I'd be posting YOUR papers to my LJ as examples of what NOT to turn in. Sigh.

sunflowerkudi October 24 2007, 14:44:20 UTC

Hhaa nice icon.. Haha thanks.. Although what have you read of mine.. I htink I have only posted an original story and thats about as much writing as I have done.

sunflowerkudi October 24 2007, 14:44:57 UTC

Oops, that was me

Ugh.

I can only assume how this person did in his/her English classes. *hugs* Sorry you have to deal with them.

sayyida_jaida October 24 2007, 05:21:13 UTC

I am, too. I wish I knew exactly who it was. I have more than 300 kids in this class. So it's all fairly anonymous.

You know... that might be an interesting study.

Is the writing quality better in smaller classes where the prof knows the kids names and they can't anonymously turn in shit like that?

scifichick774 October 24 2007, 12:09:35 UTC

I would certainly hope so, but probably not. I know several supposedly educated people who don't have any grasp of spelling and grammar. They are, however, gifted in things like math and sciences, so perhaps it has to do with the way their brains are wired.

It's still irritating, though, and I can't imagine having the patience to be a professor, or a teacher of any kind, where I would have to deal with so many people like that on a daily basis.

katling73 October 24 2007, 05:15:25 UTC

Argh! *sporks eyes*

Now this is a good example of why I could never be an English teacher (or any other kind of teacher now that I come to think of it).

sayyida_jaida October 24 2007, 05:21:42 UTC

I teach sociology. So... yeah. Any kind of teacher.
