how to annoy your English teacher
Fri Jul 21, 2006 9:52 am
Everytime she says 'who' correct her to say 'whom' even if its incorrect
insist on speaking and writing in the third person
Speak like Yoda.
Correct her whenever she says 'good' instead of 'well'
Add extra apostrophe's in all your sentence's
LForget to finish your senten
Speak to her only in Ebonics
Read everything out loud, in a British accent.
Turn in your Term paper written in Spanish
Use Internet Shorthand and smilies in all of your papers
Write in old English i.e. "�a w�s on burgum Beowulf Scyldinga, etc."
LSpeak and write only in Pig Latin - claim it is your native language
LRaise your hand and say "I totally agree" after everything your teacher says
Answer every question with a Monty Python quote
Two words: 'Double Negatives' ! N.B This also works for German Teachers.
Spend the whole lesson trying to lick your elbow
Speak in French.
Write every essay backwards. Bottom to top, right to left.
Come late to class in a Spider-Man cosume, say there was "a disturbance"
hide behind the curtians with your feet in full view
tell her dont understand every time she asks a question
tell her that you dropped your homework in a birds nest
Whenever asked a question answer I dunt no
When the teacher teaches a new rule, ask her to prove it with a T-proof
"The homeworks due now? Oh, give me a minute then."
Count how many times your teacher says "UM" and then present it to them.
Play charades across the classroom
when he tells someone to turn around have everyone in class do so
when the teacher turns to write on the board, throw paper or rubbers at them
Whistle random film theme tunes
Make note of the prepositions you end your sentences with
Ask if why she asks questions if she "supposedly" knows the answer.
petition to ban this "subjunctive mood" crap from the language
Tie in a "ain't" with every sentence while slurring your words
Do homework in Spanish

Hehe "Read everything out loud, in a British accent." I'm gonna try that one

Did that.
Got good marks for it.
Case study of how technology affects language admitedly.
Read everything out loud, in a British accent.
Do explain how that one works though.
And several of those are classed as abuse.
Just so you know before he smacks you.

I am British so it wouldn't really work. Why does everyone like the accent?! It's not funny!
Also, everytime somebody gets their grammar wrong yell 'STOP! Grammar Time!'

Ahh that would have been great to do - if only I still did English
And the yanks love it cos they can't do it - we're awesome at doing american accents though (most of us anyway)

And yet again, the international interchangability of 'Britain' and 'England' shows it's (very) ugly head. THERE ARE 3 OTHER COUNTRIES IN THIS COUNTRY AND WE WANT RECOGNITION!
Although only the Scottish, Irish and English accents are shmexy. No-one likes the Welsh accent.
No-one.

I like the welsh accent! But only when Glyn from BB is using it 
Fri Jul 21, 2006 10:15 pm
Haha I've done quite a few of those. I've read in british and scottish accents. The teacher got annoyed but meh. I also handed a whole paper in ebonics and she said it was a proper form of english and she corrected it all xD i also got a not to not do it again but I got a good grade.

Come late to class in a Spider-Man cosume, say there was "a disturbance"
Wow, this would be my life goal.

I did that once, I mean, I'm a boy and stuff, and I don't actually file my nails usually, but I suppose that just added to it. Especially when I did a bad northern accent and had my feet on the desk.

Ones I've done/seen done/heard of via teachers
- Come into class with your uniform on backwards and your bag hanging from your front. Sit down backwards on your chair
- Whenever you're given a piece of prose etc and asked to find all the language techniques, circle every single c in the piece and claim its alliteration
- Ask if you'll be given the formula duing the test
- When giving a speech, carry cue cards with nothing on them.
- Hand everything in written in Shakespearean language

No-one.
Not to mention that said accents are made up of Hundreds of local accents.
You wouldn't imagine the fight I had on my hands when I pronounced Path with a soft A. (Parth)
