@harty2529 evil and deranged AND hilarious 😉 sorry the joke I made 5 months ago offended you, but I loved the novel you wrote me 🫶

[jared @Ja_1227]

What if we had sex in the MAGA sand pit

[jared @Ja_1227]

@atom_jarvis @thosegrose And (surprise second last word), I knew from one look at your page that you’re stubborn in your views and like to argue.

My intention was solely to waste your time. Glad I could keep you entertained.

Trump is a pedophile.

[jared @Ja_1227]

@atom_jarvis @thosegrose Thanks ma’am, I appreciate it.

Your original post had nothing to do with the professors classroom, just that the OP was using incorrect grammar, which isn’t true.

You lack understand of the education system, which is a shame, and I’ll sleep good knowing I’m childish and right.

[jared @Ja_1227]

@atom_jarvis @thosegrose Oh diva, I’m just refusing to let you have the last word, we’re going in circles.

The professor listens the department who “should” follow industry standard.

He can grade how he likes, sure, but that doesn’t determine defined rules of grammar.

[jared @Ja_1227]

@atom_jarvis @thosegrose Who said it was? Please refer to a singular woman as she.

You’re using a bad example. The specific sentence wasn’t provided by the OP, and we don’t know the style they are expected to follow.

APA does say this:

[jared @Ja_1227]

@atom_jarvis @thosegrose Yeah babe, I have a degree and worked in journalism and copywriting.

Trust me, in a writing heavy course, the professor doesn’t get to determine their own standard. We were taught according to AP and APA styles because that was industry standard.

[jared @Ja_1227]

@atom_jarvis @thosegrose “Adhere to the professor instead of the current academic standard” is not a great mindset going into the job market, especially in a journalism/comm/marketing field.

The real world also follows these styles, hence why they exist in the classroom.

You clearly don’t know enough.

[jared @Ja_1227]

@atom_jarvis @thosegrose Except, in most accredited universities, professors adhere to a style guide.

My program used APA but I know others use MLA, AP, and Chicago.

The professor can say anything, but that doesn’t make her writing grammatically incorrect. Which brings us back to point of the post.

[jared @Ja_1227]

@atom_jarvis @thosegrose I think you’re assuming the context of “They” again (she never said how she used it, just in place of he or she).

We can talk grammar, not opening the floor to your MAGA “no pronoun” shit.

Regardless, it’s cute that you don’t understand academic writing standards.

[jared @Ja_1227]

@atom_jarvis @thosegrose Girl I can’t do this shit with you, stay mad. Stay obsessed. Maybe don’t pursue a career in academia.

And remember, facts over feelings, mf triggered by “They”

[jared @Ja_1227]

@atom_jarvis @thosegrose “Promoting absurd ideas”

Girl I’m outlining grammar as defined by academia.

And the department likely has a standard style guide, the professor doesn’t get to pick and choose. APA, MLA, and Chicago (3 most common) all observe the singular “They”

Just take the L.

[jared @Ja_1227]

@atom_jarvis @thosegrose Hey! So professors are actually governed and don’t have free range to do whatever they want.

I’m glad this how you’re spending your night, how much longer are you gonna let me waste your time?

[jared @Ja_1227]

@atom_jarvis @thosegrose That’s like saying Trump can overrule the Constitution because he’s President (which I assume you also believe)

Depending on the university policy and the style expectations in place, much can be done. The professor isn’t the dictator.

[jared @Ja_1227]

@atom_jarvis @thosegrose The professor doesn’t override grammatical rules outlined by:

APA
MLA
AP
Chicago
Merriam-Webster
Oxford
Cambridge
Collin’s
American Heritage

Per the original post, the professor is in the wrong.

[jared @Ja_1227]

@atom_jarvis @thosegrose So, the original post never confirmed if the example you’ve described was the context- she could’ve said “They went to the store.”

Regardless, neither is incorrect.

We can both keep repeating ourselves though 🥱

[jared @Ja_1227]

@atom_jarvis @thosegrose So it’s NOT about grammar, it’s about your beliefs.

Thanks for confirming. Should’ve know by the pedo in your profile pic that you think your belief system is superior.

You wanna keep the party going?

[jared @Ja_1227]

@atom_jarvis @thosegrose Is it politics or linguistics?

It’s not the “pronoun” game. In the example provided, she never said it was to refer to a nonbinary person.

15 years from now, language structure from the 14th century will probably still exist (Shakespeare used it).

[jared @Ja_1227]

@atom_jarvis @thosegrose As we’ve established, the professor was wrong. The singular they is acceptable in academic writing.

Google is free.

[jared @Ja_1227]

@atom_jarvis @thosegrose You keep saying talking about the damn grammar but, like I said, it’s grammatically correct.

What the fuck is your damage dude?
