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 really hope you teach something other than english.

I don't see how this counts as an FML, rofl. Even the most grammatically correct of us can make simple mistakes like that now and then. You should be happy that your students bothered to pay enough attention to notice.

WTF is wrong with that? everybody makes mistakes especially when they have tons of shit on their mind. so chill the duck out. if it happens again just blow it off. no big deal. erase and continue.

*whats I think I understand what you're trying to ask. You're: You are. Your: Owning something e.g. "Have you got your tooth brush?"

People keep telling me to **** off every time I point out grammar errors and tell everybody understands them, unlike how they don't with my accent some times. I thought those people would never get a job involving writting, but then again, I was wrong. YDI OP.

Well, my gym teacher told us that we were all "ACTING DUMB! D-U-M DUMB!"

People always think it's of because of the contraction, Would've, the ve sounds kinda like an of.

I pray to god that this is a joke... If not, I hope you get raped by your father.

I hope that you are joking too. How could you wish something like that on anyone?
