Today, my English teacher told me that I failed my grammar test. Her exact words were "You ain't gonna pass this class if you ain't gonna study." FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I had a Chinese test. Our teacher decided to wait until yesterday to tell us about it because she "knew" we wouldn't study anyway and she didn't want to stress us out. I'm pretty sure I failed. FML
Today, I found out I've miserably failed a college exam. My friend had agreed to pass me answers if I needed them, since I've hardly studied this year. We were on the phone when she said, "Oh, those answers were bullshit. Serves you right, huh?" FML
Today, my teacher walked into class and said, "Look to your left and right, one of those persons you just looked at will fail the upcoming exam." When asked why, she said too many people passed last year's exam. She was dead serious. FML
Today, I walked into an exam after having stayed up 20 straight hours studying. The professor looked at me and muttered, "Don't bother, I'm failing you either way." FML
Today, the feedback my teacher wrote on my English assignment was so horrible that it took me half an hour and help from both my parents to decipher it. It turned out to be a scathing criticism of my "poor communication skills". I hate my teachers. FML
Today, I got my results on a recent, important midterm. During the exam, I'd noticed my instructor had accidentally left an answers page in the test packet, so being honest, I didn't look at them. It turns out she did it on purpose to help us pass. I failed. FML
Today, I turned in an overdue English assignment at college. My instructor accused me of plagiarism, writing that my sentence structure was "TO" good. Seriously? FML
Today, I had an oral English exam to present in front of three teachers. Halfway through, I completely lost my voice. They failed me because they thought I was trying to play a prank. FML
Today, I received a terrible grade for an essay I worked really hard on. I had two friends, one being an English major, check it over. However, apparently I "clearly didn't use spellcheck" on this essay just like the last one I submitted to her. FML
Today, my English teacher kicked me out of class for being "rude and disruptive." In actuality, I had called her out for having blatantly used Google Translate for several example sentences, all of which sounded as if a semi-literate foreigner had constructed them. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Should you have to study for English in the first place?

ACTUALLY, ain't is grammatically correct term. It's a contraction that actually means "Am I not." It's the grammarians (technical term for grammar police) that choose to enforce that ain't makes us sound simple. In fact, many grammar books assert that grammar is dictated by people who wish to feel superior. (Look at comment sections on this site for proof of that.) HOWEVER... you teacher failed when using that word. I'm guessing he's a grammarian who believes all that codswallop so he can feel superior.

Well maybe the Grammarians are wise because people who chronically use the word "ain't" do sound very simple. Kind of like individuals who constantly use double negatives. They sound like morons.

I feel superior because I don't care. You, however, felt the need to post a long and drawn out message to further inflate your ego.

Alleged pretention aside, this brings up an interesting grammar question. There are several technically correct, although awkward, uses of double contractions, like they'd've for they would have, but in formal usage, they're always punctuated as such. If ain't is accepted as a formal double contraction, shouldn't it be punctuated and capitalized as well? Yet A'In't, or even worse, a'I'nt, is both messy and odd; am is typically contracted 'm, and the apstrophe placement could affect proper pronunciation. To me, this seems to be a fair argument for why ain't should remain correct only when used informally, much like the words gonna and wouldja. [Quotation marks removed for the sake of apostrophe clarity. And yes, I know I'm technically feeding the troll, but grammar intrigues me.]

Damn girl. You're messing up my PHD in linguistics. I'll have to switch to linguini. Who's going to be our Konan the Grammarian now?
TheIrishJaneDoe 9
You be Konan; I'll be Xena the Wordier Princess. ;) On a side note: Mmm, linguini...

That is definitely the incorrect definition of ain't. Maybe you should do some more research.

yeah I agree, she was doing an impression of you.

You know what they say: "when in Rome...". Or perhaps, in this case, it should be "when speaking to Romans...".

I love that expression! I've heard those Romans know how to party!(:

Yeah leave it to a yankie who has never been south to make that comment. There are many very intelligent people and schools in the south. Just like there are some very ignorant people in the north. Good job. Ur my first example

Look on the bright side OP, even if you have terrible grammar there are still many viable careers out there for you, such as a NASCAR driver or Computer Science major.

If you're not interested in motorsports, then what would be the point of aiming to be a Nascar driver? Sure you could make a lot of money for not doing a lot of work (driving a car around in circles over and over), but that career isn't for everybody. Keep your stupid comments in your pocket sir.
HesJustTheBest 0
The point was they wouldn't need good grammar for pursing that career. Also, you receive 3 internets for using that last phrase.
CoolBro777 4
I don't appreciate your ruse sir

Actually, Nascar takes a lot of stamina. Driving a car at over 100mph for 500 miles is hard work. Not to mention getting the pit crew to time the gas/tire, etc. Don't know about bathroom breaks.
