I got my test back today--95. Hear that noise? That's the sound of your mind being blown.
(Yes, I've used that one before but it's so awesome that it needs to be repeated.)
My only problem was that he crossed out "ingrained" on my paper and replaced it with "engrained", which while technically is also correct, implies that "ingrained" is not. Which it is. Totally. See?
And it shouldn't bother me that much--he didn't take any points off for it--but it's one of those things that really annoys me, because he goes around thinking I'm a moron who can't spell and I go around thinking he's thinking I'm a moron who can't spell and -- well, dammit, I'm an English major! I shouldn't have to take this abuse!
I want to send him an email with a discreet note at the bottom saying, "By the way, ingrained is also correct" but Court says that would be obnoxious.
Which, yes, it totally would be.
But it's very tempting all the same.
