- I had a Prof who announced, a week before the final, that we’d be graded on grammar, punctuation, and handwriting, in addition to our subject. So I marked up his prolix syllabus, gave him a B for content, and a D for G&P, resulting in a C, and dropped it in his in-box. He relented.
- No, Harvard didn't mark up Linda McMahon's letter and send it back to her! That markup was a Twitter/X joke by MIT economics grad student Daniel Luo x.com/danielluo_pi
- I was fine with grammar and punctuation, but my handwriting is atrocious, and had no time to improve it. I was not going to let him blow my A. He didn’t know it was me, but at the final announced he’d changed his mind, and added we could keep our sylabbi — no need to return it to him.
