I am currently doing that English Language coursework final draft thats due in tomorrow, with no exceptions. I've closed Trillian Pro so no communication, I'm not checking my e-mail and loading my own site has been the second time I've used a browser today, the first being to open Wilberforce's webmail server to download a fresher copy of my coursework from my college account.
The only other thing running is Winamp so I have music while I work.
Haven't gotten that much done yet, but I'm in a flow. The reason I've momentarilly stopped is I just needed to rant a teensy little bit about something.
I hate writing for English teachers and examiners.
Why?
Because its like writing for a two year old. You have to explain everything in depth, even when the meaning of it isn't even a pragmatic, it's clearly visible by the most idiotic of simpletons (hmm, I wonder when K*n came into this rant?)
The given explanation for why you have to do this is that you aren't just writing for the teacher, or even the examiner, you are supposed to write your piece so that you could grab someone off the street and they'd be able to understand first time round.
Bullshit.
Great big piles of bullshit.
This is an English Language analysis essay, who the fuck is going to read it other than an English Language student/teacher/examiner or possibly another analyst. Would any of these statements proponents of the spoken and written word ever have any trouble accertaining what is meant at certain points within the essay? Somehow I think not.
Hypothesis: They're just lazy buggers.
Oh well, back to die englische Sache.
