Did you take it up with Mrs. Gibson?
Also I found your school and looked at the pictures, Mrs. Gibson looks identical to a mentor at my college... |

Re: lol english
She's still pissing me off. She doesn't seem to understand that the structure of the sentence doesn't change because it's "conjoined" or whatever with the sentence before it. Just because a word was a verb in one sentence doesn't mean it's automatically a verb in another. Words have different parts of speech depending on how they are used and placed within a sentence. It boggles me that she doesn't understand this.
I'm sorry for HER... she is having such a hard time! I still say you should send her my "leap" argument, although if she's giving everyone a +1 it may just be better to let it go, get the grade, move on, and let bygones be bygones. Even if there is dispute over the part of speech regarding 'gift,' she doesn't make a damn claim against the otherwise ironclad statement that adjectives, simply put, do NOT DESCRIBE VERBS. Your teacher is retarded.

Re: lol english
She keeps saying "If I gift you, isn't gift a verb? I'm sorry that you don't understand how gift can be a verb."

Re: lol english
Read the whole thread.
What a bitch. She needs to accept the fact that she is incorrect. She has been proven incorrect from a multitude of sources yet she's thickheaded enough to not accept her mistake. And hey, it's a noun. |

Re: lol english
First I thought her ego got a dent which she won't confess but turns out she just doesn't have a clue.

Thank you, I'm addicted to appreciation D: Quote:
Anything that ends with "ist" or "ism" is a noun. Anything that ends in "ly" is an adverb. I think the second one may have acceptions, not sure though. Quote:

Re: lol english
I think too big of a deal was made out of this, nothing against anyone on this either, but I've had teachers make mistakes and still try to convince me they are correct, although it is quite obvious they are wrong. I just simply let it go & move on.
P.S. emerald000, I see you're viewing this thread. Happy Birthday! |

Re: lol english
Wow, her explanation for that just made me even more angry.
Yes, "gift" can be a verb. That's not the ****ing point, Ms. Flanary-****ing-retard-I-don't-deserve-a-Master's-please-tie-my-tubes-so-I-don't-pass-on-my-idiocy. Even though "gift" was being used as a verb in some previous sentence, the sentence in question uses it AS A NOUN. God damn it... I hate stupid people so much.

Re: lol english
Ask her what adjectives modify. Please, for the love of God, I would love to see what kind of bull**** response she'd give to that.
I need to calm down. This isn't even my teacher. I get so irate at retarded, thickheaded people. It's not even so much that's she's wrong... we're all prone to being incorrect. What pisses me off is the fact that, despite all the argumentation, valid sources, explanations, and logic for WHY "gift" is a noun in that context, she's too stubborn to acknowledge any of it other than saying "No, you're wrong. I can't believe you can't accept that it is possible to 'gift' someone!" It just shows her inability to listen, her lack of intelligence, and more importantly, her inability to teach.

Re: lol english
Let's do this the nice way, because you're giving her a lot of grief over this when she clearly doesn't care anymore.
First of all, you have to understand teachers are glorified babysitters who get underpaid for the amount of troubles they have to undergo in order to become teachers. Most of them are probably people like me--people who enjoy teaching other people the things they know. They probably didn't know babysitting teenagers all day would be so bad. Second of all, along with this, understand that teachers don't like being wrong. They're the ones teaching you after all. I had a super-long post written up explaining the intricacies of the English language, but I realize now that there is a very easy solution to all of this. Quote:
gift n: A talent, endowment, aptitude, or inclination. Danielle's gift is a talent. She's able to recall information from memory. She is gifted with this talent, and the talent is a gift. Her gift is a noun. When she uses her gift, is she gifting? No. Even if the previous sentence had her gifting others with her gift, in this sentence, that gifted gift is still a noun. I also highly doubt the previous sentence is written this way because it would be incredibly confusing and written in an attempt to screw people up. Even though I've never seen the question, I assume the previous sentence reads something like "She can recall things from memory really easily." So to say "That must be an extremely valuable gift!" in reference to this gift utilizes the "talent, endowment, aptitude, or inclination" definition of the word. In fact, you can substitute in "talent", a word that has no verb form, and the sentence still reads properly -- "That must be an extremely valuable talent!" It seems like this whole confusion is over one of the definitions of a word she's not familiar with. The funny part about it is that this is one of the basic forms of the word, whereas the verb form of the word is the archaic form. Last edited by Squeek; 06-10-2009 at 05:33 PM.. |

Re: lol english
If a noun is turned into a verb when it is talking about an action, then action should never be a noun, because it's always referring to a verb of some form.
Yet... QED.
