retrospec | (no subject)

I know we've all been a bit distracted lately, not only from the abrupt loss of two colors from the spectrum, but all the usual school madness that occurs in June. Grades are coming in, summer sessions are about to begin, and that's an understandably stressful time.

[To say nothing of sleep loss. Rosalind certainly looks exhausted as she glowers into the camera. Behind her, chalkboards are filled with equations, and someone with a particularly clever mind might be able to spot a trend towards space and time.]

However. Let me give a few of you a piece of advice. I know several of you are in university right now, or about to graduate high school and enter into it. If you ever send a professor who failed you something like what I'm about to attach, you will not change their minds. Point in fact, they'll be even more determined to fail you. I know I certainly am, and I'm not even the one dealing with this right now.

Honestly, I preferred the bribes to this.

Were they, though?

i see no cursing

and it's in the message.

this is easily in the top 25% of complaints i've seen

"Bruh" is not respectful. It's not even a proper word, to start with, and the sentiment is shock and indignation that he didn't somehow miraculous get his way despite not putting in any effort.

point on it not being a proper word. you're more likely to find it in urban dictionary instead of mirriam's but, it's also pretty neutral as far as possible expressions of annoyance. disappointment, whatever go.
and hey, maybe it's because he didn't put any effort into that either. i'd still say it's in the top 25% of possible responses

Are you defending this simply because you enjoy arguing, or you've endured a lot of cursing in student emails?

I'm a cop. I write speeding tickets. Take a wild guess.

Ah.

Yes, all right, I rather see your point, then. But given policework and teaching two wildly different areas, I still count this as disrespectful. Below the twenty-five percent mark and all.

well I figure it would be obvious that there's a speed limit. Kind of like you should probably try in class, but contrary to whatever impression I've given... not fond of arguing.

What's the ratio of cursing to poor attempts at seduction?

it's more even than i thought it would be going in.

Give us a figure, then.
