Ratt Mhule Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Planes, Trains and Plantains: The story of Oedipus Rex Easily the most epic paper ever written. And he still managed a D-. I think that says more about the teacher than it does the student Quote Link to comment
Jeremy Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I'm sure there are some people on HB that would like to blaze with the inventors of Aqua Fresh toothpaste. Quote Link to comment

HuskerLover1 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I'm glad to see someone sticking up for Nebraska. All the players on the team and frankly I find it fitting that Eric Martin would speak up for the Huskers! At least he has some balls. Bulletin board material is for teams that need it. I doubt OU and Bob Stoops need to use that tweet. Quote Link to comment
TJ Alum Husker Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 My god I wish they would use plain english. It's hard on the eyes when your not that generation. Is misusing "your" also generational? well played sir Quote Link to comment
Haspula Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 ...You know, I don't care what their 'tweets' look like. My problem is that texting, tweeting, and facebook status updates have become so much a part of young people's lives that they don't know how to separate that from times when 'proper' or academic English is appropriate. You should try reading a high school student's report that is half written in 'text' language. I actually have to tell the kids at the time of the assignment that 'text' language is unacceptable. This is completely true. Sad, really. people had similar fears because of television, radio, printed text, and so on and so forth. get over it. It's not a fear, it's a reality. I had students turn in papers that were half written in 'text' language. The worst part was, they had no idea why I was handing it back, ungraded, and telling them to re-write it. I'm not affraid of anything, I just think these kids spend so much time texting, and so little time reading English, that they don't even realize that they shouldn't turn in a formal paper written in text. What high school do you teach? Quote Link to comment
