They're probably thinking to themselves, "This guy is lucky I even bothered replying."

People shouldn't let retarded monkeys send emails. It's really a simple principle, but god, how often it's being violated...

Or post on Twitter.

Are you counting down the days?

 

[Perun]

I'll be out of town over the weekend, I have the feeling I'll start counting them down once I'm back.

I'm not a perfect student, but it frustrates me a lot when I'm in an exam and someone recites 10 definitions of some political ideology, but then says fascism ended in 1941, doesn't know what a quisling is, and recites the whole lesson about Marxism but doesn't know what a proletariat is. SMH.

 

[LooseCannon]

Well, obviously, that person should fail.

 

[Night Prowler]

She passed.

He meant later in life.

 

[Night Prowler]

Oh.

 

[The Flash]

Why is she studying political science if she has no interest in it?

I spent the past three months explaining to someone how to tell the difference between the Past Simple and Present Perfect tenses in English. I have used situations, graphs, audio, video, role play, flash cards, signal words, time lines - anything that has ever existed in methodology. Today I asked for an example with Present Perfect and she said "I was eating pizza while I was watching TV."

 

[Brigantium]

She's not British, is she? Teaching of English was appalling when I was at school.

 

[Ariana]

No, she's half-Bulgarian, half-Greek.

 

[Perun]

half-Greek.

That explains it. They're all about the past and have no concept of the present. And future- forget it.

The official languages of Canada are French and English. Why do we hire people who can spell in neither French nor English?

I had to look up Present Perfect after reading this.

Correct would be "I was eating pizza while many man has suffered and many man has died", right?

I wish my students were as smart!

 

[Ariana]

Cool! I actually expected to hear someone in dire need of mints.
