Today, I turned in an overdue English assignment at college. My instructor accused me of plagiarism, writing that my sentence structure was "TO" good. Seriously? FML

I'm fairly positive that due to the quotation marks OP's professor was the one who used the wrong form.

Interestingly, you didn't write so sophisticated here, and had a misspelling when you wrote, "too." You also missed a comma. I'm not an English expert, and even I found errors. Maybe YDI.

If the sentence structure is alot better then all of their previous work, then I can see where the instructor is coming from. Other wise I agree fyl.

OP's instructor is the one who used the wrong form of "too". See the quotations around it, and the statement "my professor wrote that,"? That's part of OP's FML...

I see them doesn't rule out that the error was on the fmls part and not the professor

He means the instructor said "to" instead of "too", implying that the instructor made the grammar mistake.

Actually, the professor used the wrong TOO, not the OP

Plagiarism is a serious offense and you shouldn't be accused of that without credible evidence. But I'm gonna vote YDI anyway for turning in your assignment late. This is college dude, the professor pretty much gets to do whatever he/she wants in his/her classroom. You're lucky you were even able to submit the assignment late, some professor accept no late assignments. You can argue with the professor and take it up with his/her department. But next time, take some responsibility and make sure you get your work done early so you don't get stuck in this situation. Oh, and don't get your panties in a wad over a misspelling, it happens

Being accused of Plagiarism is quite a leap from receiving an "F" or a lower grade for a late paper.
