Today, in algebra, I took out my notebook. My Chinese teacher was so impressed with my "Chinese" writings on the cover that I'm now her "favorite student". Those "Chinese" symbols are actually Japanese, but I wanted someone to like me so badly that I didn't correct her. FML

I don't agree, but your life does suck. I hear it's hard to go through life being stupid.

A lot of Japanese characters came from Chinese they are called Kanji in Japanese. That is why sometimes a Chinese person that don't speak / write any Japanese can pick up meaning of Japanese word here and there.

Japanese people use a form called "kanji" which is basically Chinese letters.... Society really needs to up the education budget nowadays....

actually most characters (or symbols as you call them) are universal between Japan and China with slight differences in style and pronunciation.

8-20-11 is when the FML was posted, not submitted.

I think someone may have said this already, but just so you know Japanese characters, or Kanji, are mostly the same as Chinese characters.

1st You were in algebra, not in Chinese class, how could your Chinese teacher see your notebook if you're in freaking ALGEBRA 2nd She is a freaking CHINESE teacher, she has to know the difference and 3rd Anyone who actually believed this moron is as, maybe even more, moronoic as he is, you dumbshits

How is this a FML? You are now promises good grades for the rest of the year! You're probably not going to learn a lot, though.

Was it kanji? Because if it was Japanese uses Chinese kanji but in most cases they are used for different sounds. If it was hiragana or katakana your teacher is an idiot. I doubt she can't read her own language though...

I hope you know Japanese people use Chinese lettering. They just mean different things
