No one CARES here!
really? at my school teachers are really strict about puncuation and if something isn't grammatically correct you usually get points taken off...
Same herre!
Nope, like i mean of course we're taught grammar and everything but not so stringently. We don't have to follow those silly guidelines (Grakky told me about them)- we're more encouraged to develop a personal style (in exams you get marks for 'personal flair') and to write fluently rather than pure grammar.
see up until this year all of my teachers have been really strict about grammar and spelling and all that , and then this year my teacher could have cared less, and just wanted us to focus on writing styles and analyzing the literature and all that good stuff - all my past teachers wanted us to have a personal style but within their rules and guidlines :-P This year it was like free reign - it was great!
