Now tinku, you haven’t been paying attention in class again. I’ll start with your opening sentence: “CORRSA: without movie stars there wouldnt be movies dim shit” Tut tut. Your spelling and grammar here is abysmal. Can anyone else in the class tell me what is wrong here? Yes, you at the back. That’s right, a colon was used after CORSSA when a semicolon was most appropriate. Any one else? Yes, no apostrophe in “wouldn’t”. And of course, the remainder of the sentence would suggest that there is such an entity as “movies dim shit”, which I’m sure many of you would agree with. No laughing in class. Okay now, settle down. Apart from the lack of a capital letter to start the next paragraph, tinku goes on to make a statement regarding the worth of footballers. A simple question mark at the end of this sentence would have made all the difference. And, tinku, if you had paid attention in history class as well, you would have known that the first £1million footballer was Trevor Francis, transferred from Birmingham City to Nottingham Forest on February 9th 1979. The current World Record transfer fee stands at £46million paid to Juventus by Real Madrid for Zinedine Zidane in 2001. The question, however, and following questions (all without question marks) are rhetorical and are not in the least a valid analogy with the subject under discussion. If I could award an “F-” for this paper, boy, I would do so. Unfortunately I cannot, so a simple F will have to do. Keep up this shodiness in your end of term exam and you’ll be moved to remedial class. Let that be a lesson to the rest of you in class.
