Speaking of cheating, I caught one of my classmates cheating during a Science test yesterday. I didn't say it to my teacher, mostly because I was afraid that people would've discovered that it was me, so I just asked her about it. First, she denied, but when I said that I saw her looking at notes which she had hidden in her bag, she just said "Yes..." and left. It's really annoying that she get good marks (?) without actually deserving it. Bah. If i see her doing it again, I will let the teacher know.

No worries cyclo, I'm that easily offended.

 

Whether I cheat or not, is however my own business, and mine alone.

Hmm. Well. Just to be an ass. It's actually your business, your schools business, and if your under age, your parents business. And when you flaunt it in a discussion forum, it's the whole worlds business.

 

Sorry. I couldn't help myself.

 

Fisker: How about an anonymous tip? When somebody cheats that can easily effect everybody elses grade too.

I tried having this pass without it becoming a big deal, but since you, and your busted up mind, obviosly can't mind your own business... here goes:

 

Why the hell does it bother you that I cheat every once in a while? In what possible way is that gonna effect you, and why the hell do you feel the need to call me an ass? You don't even know me man!

 

By what little you've shown me of yourself, I take it you're a pretty pompous "high and mighty" douche, who thinks everything has to be done the right way.

 

Instead of fucking with me, how about you try focusing on your own ass, and get off my back.

 

Sorry. I couldn't help myself.

Guys, calm down! We don't have to start a big argue about this. We all know that cheating is wrong, but we all do it sometims, just look at President Bush.. He have been cheating for eight years now

 

Fisker: You should as cyclo say, go on with a anonymous tip.. You can't just sit there and do nothing when she get good marks and all that stuff you said.. It is really annoying that people can get top marks by cheating all the time..

Maan, it's a long time since I last replied to this thread! My english results for the last few months have been nothing but amazing, and I just recieved an A on my english tentam! =D Quite happy about that one.

 

But how is things going around here? Cozy little thread for english-speaking people, or just a place to flame those who can't speak english properly?

Let me be the first one to flame you, for not differentiating between singular and plural.

 

No worries, though.

First of all. Dude, chill out. Don't explode. Read what I wrote a couple of times and try to understand it.

Like I said. If you flaunt something on a forum, you can't get pissed off when sombody comments it. And you can't tell somebody to mind their own business when their commenting something you posted.

Why the hell does it bother you that I cheat every once in a while? In what possible way is that gonna effect you, and why the hell do you feel the need to call me an ass? You don't even know me man!

Dude. READ what I said. I'll explain it for you. I _never_ called you an ass. The sentence "Well. Just to be an ass........" means that I'm an ass for what I'm going to say next. So in other words I called myself an ass. In other words cyclo=ass for what he's about to say....

By what little you've shown me of yourself, I take it you're a pretty pompous "high and mighty" douche, who thinks everything has to be done the right way.

Man... Again... relax... The I'm not "hight and mighty" in any way. I've cheated a couple of times myself many years ago. But I just couldn't help myself. You set it up so nicely, and there was no way I could let it pass without a comment.

Look, cyclo, I'm having a very shitty day! And quite frankly, I don't really care for "relaxing" right now.

 

Why don't you just be the "bigger man", and stop responding?

[robgar]

A nice little thread I've been missing this is. I often tends to think in English, all of a sudden with no warning. I am attending the class "international English" at my school next year, and are looking forward to it. English is a great language, and I often know how to describe or explain a matter in English quicker, easier and more well formulated.

 

Though my English is far from perfect, but I'll use all my opportunities to improve it though. Glad to see such a thread in this forum.

I really don't mind people who's telling me what's wrong with whatever I am writing or saying. It does not matter so long as I make myself understood, eh?

[cyclo]

There you go.

 

And I totally agree. The only way of learning, is to be told what you are doing wrong.

[reds]

I guess you are right, cyclo.

[cyclo]

Well I'm off to the store to find something for dinner. I'm afraid I might end up speaking American to the cashiers...

[The Stig]

Yay, I just woke up. Think I have to write a memo to myself, "Do not go to bed at 13:00".

 

Anyway, regarding the "copy" material from Internet discussion - I once downloaded a paper on Henrik Ibsen back in Primary School, that didn't go very well. Unfortunately my teacher wrote down the first sentences in Google, and voilà - I failed the test. After that, I've done it right

Stikko, its material.

Stikko, its material.

@eilertsen: It's "it's", as in It is, as in "It is supposed to be material.

 

edit:

 

"Its", without the apostrophe, is used when saying something like "The dress was ass ugly, not to mention its color, which was very inappropriate."

Gah, stupid dictionary. Now I remember why I don't use it ...

[Fruktkake]

Well a lot of people put their good material ON the Internet, your teacher shouldn't be surprised if you had posted it there. Maybe put your name as a copyright there though.

[reds]

Well, it's legal to publish your own work on the internet, but you have to consider the fact that it may be used by someone else.

I can't catch a break! Just found out that I'm having this years exam in economics! My weakest subject ever, I've struggled so fucking hard to keep up and pass the class as it is, and on top of it, I'm stuck with a fucking exam!

 

So, once again God, thanks for everything - you evil, twisted son of a bitch!
