Slipping up

Today, I was teaching a class when a student pointed out that I'd used the wrong "your/you're" while writing on the board. FML

Same thing different taste

Underfunded and underappreciated

Today, I got back the essay I wrote about how my country's education system is fucked. At one point, I made a spelling mistake. My teacher wrote a note about it, basically calling me illiterate, and telling me to pay attention in school instead of whining about it. She misspelled "school". FML

I've found that once English learners become fluent, they speak and write the language much better than people who learned it as their first language.

How the hell do American's make a grammar mistake like that? I learned the rules about your and you're and their, they're, and there back in fourth grade. It's one thing if you're trying to text on a cellphone to ignore the grammar rules, but on a board while teaching kids? Sick.

Haha seriously, #151. And just to let you know #150, English is spoken in other countries as well.
