Today, my English teacher used the word "interpretate" again. This isn't the only mistake she's made though; I've been so frustrated that I've started a list of them. It's over a page long. I'm meant to be learning things from this woman. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, 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
Today, I was teaching a class when a student pointed out that I'd used the wrong "your/you're" while writing on the board. FML
Today, I got back the essay I wrote about how my country's education system is fucked. At one point, I made a spelling mistake. My teacher wrote a note about it, basically calling me illiterate, and telling me to pay attention in school instead of whining about it. She misspelled "school". FML
Today, my boss yelled at me for ruining the report she was supposed to write with my "terrible spelling and grammar". I've checked it thoroughly, and all of her 'corrections' are wrong. She doesn’t believe me, and is refusing to look at a dictionary. FML
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
Today, I got my language final exam back. It was a 10-page essay front and back, and I saw that I received a D. The teacher told me the plot was too hard to follow and it jumped all over the place. It turns out he forgot to read the back of every page. 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, I had to listen to my classmate loudly argue a question she got wrong on a test for half an hour, repeating the same incorrect argument ad nauseam. She screamed at the rightfully exasperated teacher for being "biased" when he gave up, and started screaming again when I tried to explain it in a different way. FML
Today, I was teaching a ten year old how to play piano. Halfway through the lesson, she made a minor mistake, which, trying to be a good tutor, I corrected her. She smiled up at me, paused, then slammed the key cover down onto my fingers. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

"Interpretate" is actually a word, albeit archaic. It has more merit than some word made up by David Cohen.

Sure, just as potatoes gotta potate is complaisant with the grammar police.

get a recording of it if you can and have her fired... we don't need imbeciles like that trying to teach. The irony is that you live in the UK... if you were in good ol' 'Merrica I wouldn't have been surprised lol.

the loss was a conspiracy. if we had won, all those famous anti-war songs inspired by the hippie movements would have been meaningless! thus we threw the fight to save the record companies! *everybody gasps*
Mister_Triangle 21
We won every engagement. We killed more of them than they did of us. We won by most conventional military standards. We "lost" because it was unpopular with our citizens.

You lost. Sure, if you want to brag about it people still die from the toxins released there so you can beat you chest if you feel like it.

My boyfriends dad was in Vietnam. Agent orange has been trying to kill him since he returned home over 30 years ago! I can only imagine the crap the locals have to deal with in Vietnam.
karlcolt45 19
amen 38. damn hippies

Oh yay! More conspiracy theorists. Just what we need. How about this, you go fight in a war, then you can tell us if we won or lost. Sound fair?

I was a teacher's aide for an English teacher my senior year of high school. He mentioned how annoyed he was getting by students using the "word" impactful in their essays. I had to read and grade some of those essays and suddenly the "word" was everywhere. Two years later, I cringe whenever someone says impactful. The Dean of my college said it in his welcome speech. Luckily, I don't have to learn from HIM. Sorry, OP. Just continue to passive-aggressively take notes of the fake words she says. And don't forget to let us know how that turns out when your pent up rage is released. :P
