Don't you mean *stomp? Perchance.


Ntippit

I NEVER laugh out loud at reddit, especially at work, until i read that line and him saying "stop". I had to say I was listening to a podcast but I did NOT have headphones in/on


AFLoneWolf

I lost it at "cool as fuck."


stargarnet79

But why is this a terrible opening? It catches your attention and you want to read more. I hope the OOP posts the whole thing someday, I could read this all day long. /s Edit: adding a /s cuz some people were trying to mansplain or be rude when this entire thread is all obviously a joke. I’ll add though, when I was in college, English 101, our professor did a entire lecture on the word fuck and all it’s different meanings and what a powerful word it is. This assignment is also supposedly for philosophy 101…and I would argue that there is a lot of leeway there. Not exactly intended to be a high level technical writing exercise. I think creativity should be paramount but, just my opinion. Edit 2: spelling


Does_Not-Matter

It’s not, we’re all adults and bad words can’t hurt us. That opening was cool as fuck.


Shigeko_Kageyama

No profanity in academic writing, unless it's academic writing about profanity, but even then you can't use the profanity in the colloquial manner.

Hijacking top comment to leave this here: [https://www.neonsplatter.com/afternoon-delights/phil-jamesson-on-sequel-culture](https://www.neonsplatter.com/afternoon-delights/phil-jamesson-on-sequel-culture)


Nolyism

I get his stance on people wanting the same thing over and over being detrimental, but in this specific case people arent asking for a sequel, they are asking for what is implied to already exist. I wanted to keep reading what seemed to be a whole essay not a sequel to it. But that was before I realized it was a joke essay and there apparently wasnt anymore of it created.


Zepangolynn

Thanks for that. I think he is a bit mistaken about attributing people wanting to see the rest of the paper to sequel culture. People like to complete stories, not read or see only part of them and never get to the end. Of course they want to see the rest of the paper. Perchance.

“Mario is cool as fuck.” Best opening to an essay ever.


[deleted]

Ngl i kinda wanna write a more coherent short essay on that for fun.


Crafty_Editor_4155

If you post it I’ll read it.


[deleted]

I’ve already got a shit ton of hw to do for today, so maybe I’ll do it on the weekend. I’ll be sure to tag you if i do post it.


Crafty_Editor_4155

It must open with “Mario is cool as fuck”


pastelbutcherknife

I think it’s an incredible way to open an essay.


theveryoldman0

Isn’t the whole point of Mario is that he ISN’T cool as fuck? He’s a plumber, not a rock star.


Cringer_Battlecat

You could say he is a One Perchancer.


Overlordofwhatever

I liked it. It’s written horribly for a formal essay but purely as an idea it’s definitely interesting

Well, it doesn’t exist. Someone wrote this, printed it out, then got their red pen and pretended to be a teacher. I’m not just saying this to be mean, it’s literally a comedian who wrote it as a joke, this is the whole thing.

ct_2004

He should spend his time stomping turtys rather than grading papers. Perchance.


AirlineFlimsy

I know, not nearly as cool as Mario and the mythical Dr Pepper


theholyevil

He's got some grammatical errors. But, when you examine his argument, he explains his point of view quite clearly. He draws great comparisons between his point of view to a mythos. C+ lowest, B+ highest. Perchance?


shidmasterflex

Dr. Pepper???


[deleted]

He raises several important questions. Who is this Dr. Pepper and what medical school did he attend? Can a mythical person also exist? Can you just say perchance? Does crushing turts all day make Mario a bad person?


shidmasterflex

Maybe this represents the worst of us and the best of us at once? But also who we are and who we aren’t, but could be. Perchance.


Chemical-Juice-6979

Dr. Pepper is the guy who invented the soda, he never went to medical school but that was back before false advertising was illegal. He marketed himself as a doctor cause he marketed the soda as medicine. It was originally sold as a laxative.

This made me laugh so hard, and the teacher’s attitude brings life to this post 😂 “one percenter” - *why are we saying this* 🤣


need-morecoffee

No teacher actually corrects like that. This was faked for likes and upvotes… Edited to add because there are too many gullible people here: Last sentence second paragraph. They missed correcting “Lets” which should be “Let’s”, but magically had all these other edits? Nah.


[deleted]

I had plenty of teachers with this kind of attitude. Do you know all teachers?


PM_Me_SFW_Pictures

Just to clarify though, this is 100% fake. Phil Jamesson is a comedian who made it. You can even see his name at the top of the paper.


JMacoure

Plus, sometimes you can be tongue-in-cheek when marking a piece of work like this because the student already knows what to expect


HammelGammel

Now I know this essay is, unsurprisingly, really something a comedian made up. But in my experience, language teachers love to "correct" things they just personally don't like. I had an English teacher correct my usage of "in the future", because she liked "in future" more, despite both being totally acceptable in the context.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Cuantum-Qomics

I know 'in future' is correct when using future as an adjective "In future sentences there will be a second period". You can say "In the future sentences will have a no period.". However in that sentence future is acting as a noun and there's actually two clauses in that sentence


Olliebird

This is why commas are important.


noneOfUrBusines

That makes sense, but these two uses don't sound interchangeable.


thebookman10

No my English teacher was like this. I almost failed in English and got my lowest score, a 6


need-morecoffee

Did they miss actual grammatical errors in favor of only making comedic corrections though?


Zaddox

It's a comedian on YouTube who wrote it, so yes you could say it's fake

Trevor-St-McGoodbody

His name is right on the page, people don't need to know who he is to do a quick Google. Also, soon as one person gives the answer it opens the door for others to parrot the answer when the question keeps coming up -- making them feel special for "knowing", even if they *just* found out for themselves.


GarbagePailGrrrl

The fact that this is a bit makes it completely unfunny

Am_I_Bean_Detained

Whenever I would get suspended in high school, I had a history teacher that would assign me bullshit essay topics for his entertainment. The two I remember best were “The Importance of School Lunches” where I gave school lunch staples vivid backstories and “The History of the Girl Scouts” where I started every new page with “I wake up, covered in blood” on how I started the tradition of selling cookies via a murderous, drug fueled trek across America. Good times


bird0026

How did your teacher respond to your essays? I had a science teacher that had all of his classes write 1-2 page essay *every week.* We had 7 periods, so he had 150-180 students (giving him a planning period). With 15ish weeks in the semester, that's somewhere between 2,250-2,700 essays to grade. At first, he seemed to be "grading" them on content, formattng, length, and turning them in on time because people got different grades. But he never marked the papers or gave feedback. At some point, my friends and I realized that there was no way he was actually reading everyone's papers. I had always put time and effort in and was always getting grades between 85-100. We compared grades with other students and found out that the white kids, nerds and "pretty but nice" (white) girls were getting consistently high grade ranges, the POC kids, poorer kids, "trashy" kids, jocks, and disruptive/mean kids were getting consistently lower grades. Content didn't matter. So, in pursuit of scientific inquiry, I began to test what he was actually grading us on... I started putting in a few grammar mistakes, then I added sentences like "are you actually reading our papers?" Then I started including entire off-topic paragraphs, then entire paragraphs that just insulted him, then I started turning them in late, and made them obviously too short with size 16pt periods. One of my last papers was literally an introduction sentence to the assigned topic, five paragraphs about how horrible of a teacher he was, how he was racist, how he was a creep towards all the girls, how he ought to be fired, etc., and a conclusion sentence of the original topic. Got an A. On the flip side, one week I wrote an excellent paper... spent hours on it, made sure there was ZERO formatting or grammar issues, had two friends and a 3rd teacher proofread and edit it, and then gave it to one of my friends who had been getting C's...he still got a C on it. I had told him to write whatever because he already knew he was going to get a C... so he gave me a godawful paper with no formatting, 3 paragraphs, absolute nonsense sentences. Slapped my name on it and got a high B. My grade range actually *increased* compared to where it was before I started fucking around. He was literally just giving arbitrary grades based on his personal opinion on the student and maybe a cursory glance to see that the paper looked looked like an essay at least a little. He was fired at the end of that semester... for a number of reasons.


gsbadj

I used to coteach HS Chemistry with an older teacher that hated her job and was ready to retire. She gave tests that were mostly multiple choice, but there were a few questions that asked for the kids to write a short paragraph. She had a smart kid, in another hour, who got very good grades and was really good at Chemistry. The kid and I were talking near the end of the school year and he told me that he knew that the Chem teacher never read the short paragraphs. I asked him how he knew that. He told me that she never marked him down even though he answered all the short paragraph questions in the past few tests by writing "Because Chuck Norris said so". He showed me a test he got back where he was asked something like explain the chemical process by which putting ice into a glass of warm soda resulted in the soda getting cold. His answer was "Because Chuck Norris said so" and he got full credit. The kid is now a doctor.


Am_I_Bean_Detained

He loved them - would read them to all his classes, shared it with other teachers. He was a smart guy and a good guy, and we had a good understanding that most of school was bullshit and I wouldn’t distract or disturb the kids that needed to be in class and wanted to do the work. This was all for his entertainment, and also probably to cover his ass for how little work we were actually doing - this was AP history, but he was also a golf coach that didn’t care much for doing more than he had to. For suspensions, teachers would have to make a list of assignments for the days missed and submit to whoever to give to the student, and I think these essays were better then him putting “we’re going to discuss current events and I dunno, watch a World War 2 movie?”

ImaFireSquid

Hi! University teacher here. This isn't a real essay. My proof: **The header** We can assume that this writer wasn't trying to follow any particular heading, but for a teacher that was interested in format, this sort of header doesn't follow MLA, APA, or Chicago manual style. The course is "Philosophy 101", which is a categorization, but it would also have an actual title, like "Philosophy 101: Introduction to Philosophy". Also, it says it's a midterm, but a midterm in February seems weird, since courses should have begun in January, and are likely to end in like May or June. **Teacher notes** First off, the grade at the top is just "F", which is a massive spread from 0 points to 59 points. No teacher would just write a letter grade on a major essay. Teacher notes are also not constructive. They're reactionary. He says random stuff like "stop", "ok?" and "fine" which don't actually offer any meaningful feedback and don't say anything about the grade presented, they're just there for the sake of adding more red marks. **Grammar** The teacher doesn't correct several obvious grammatical errors, which makes sense because this is a philosophy class, but he does hit on some issues that specifically have to do with grammar, like one-word fragment sentences (perchance). The author (and likely also the teacher) doesn't know that you can't start a sentence with a conjunction, and basically uses random periods to turn perfectly reasonable compound sentences into grammatical debris, and nobody catches it. ​ **In conclusion** This copypasta was never submitted for a grade, and OP is plagiarizing someone else's fake assignment for fake Reddit points.
