oh for fuck's saaaaaaake 😐

#a student didn't pass their linguistics exam so i returned it to them for revision #with my commentary on what needs to be improved without explicitly pointing out which answers are wrong #and the new answers they have submitted are just as wrong only with different/fancier words 🤡 #like. dear child if i tell you to identify only _phrases_ and not entire _sentences_ from the text #and even tell you which exercises that we have done in class will help you with identifying _phrases_ instead of _sentences_ #then WHY. THE FUCK. ARE YOU STILL. USING ENTIRE FUCKING SENTENCES IN THIS TASK?!!?!?!? #aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhdfhhdfsfhsfhshf #and if i tell you to be more specific with your analysis #instead of going ''it could mean this but it could also mean that'' because HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO EVALUATE THAT #''more specific'' does not mean ''the exact same answer but put in a more formal way'' 😐 #yes dear child i KNOW none of those things are _explicitly stated_ in the text you're analysing #that's why you need to COMPARE the two texts and make CONCLUSIONS based on that comparison 😭 #like. bro. just choose one or the other way to analyse it?! if you argue it well enough your guess is just as good as mine! #i should have maybe just told them to pick the other option for that task since they clearly completely missed the point of this one #but i wanted to give them another chance 😔 #the world's longest sigh
