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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my teacher called a friend and me out of class and told us we had been reported for plagiarism because our answers to a problem were nearly identical, and he said that I shouldn't have shared my work. This for an assignment where significant marks were awarded for collaborating with peers. FML
Today, I failed an assignment because the person I paid to do it plagiarized the entire thing. FML
Today, I got a paper back that was given a zero for suspected plagiarism. Everything I wrote was my own thought and analysis. My instructor basically thinks my paper is smarter than I am. He won't listen, even when I explain my thought processes throughout the piece. FML
Today, I got cited for "internet plagiarism" and called to the dean's office. I'd been sitting a closed-book written exam, and my teacher had been breathing down my neck the whole time. FML
Today, my AP teacher once again accused me of plagiarism. Apparently the words "demise," "ultimately," and "rural," are too sophisticated for an 11th grade AP student to use and MUST have been copied from the Internet. FML
Today, I got yelled at for 10 minutes by my head of department for failing one of my students for plagiarism, because, "we can't be sure." It was my work he plagiarised, but because it's not in our system, it doesn't count. FML
Today, at school, I got in trouble for plagiarizing on a paper. The subject of said paper was where I see myself in ten years. FML
Today, I turned in an essay after staying up late to work on it. I was away when the teacher assigned it, so I'd asked my friend what the subject was. It transpires that she'd given me the wrong one, all because she was mad at me for not returning her pencil. FML
Today, I had my teacher look over my essay before turning it in. He said it was extremely well-written, so I handed it in. When I got it back, the feedback he left said it was one of the worst essays he'd ever read. FML
Today, I got a writing assignment back. After meeting with my professor specially after class and meticulously combing through every word of that paper, I got a low D. Turns out, he graded me down on every suggestion of his that I took. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I'm fairly positive that due to the quotation marks OP's professor was the one who used the wrong form.

Interestingly, you didn't write so sophisticated here, and had a misspelling when you wrote, "too." You also missed a comma. I'm not an English expert, and even I found errors. Maybe YDI.

If the sentence structure is alot better then all of their previous work, then I can see where the instructor is coming from. Other wise I agree fyl.

OP's instructor is the one who used the wrong form of "too". See the quotations around it, and the statement "my professor wrote that,"? That's part of OP's FML...

I see them doesn't rule out that the error was on the fmls part and not the professor

Lol, ironically enough, you're horrible at comprehension.

He means the instructor said "to" instead of "too", implying that the instructor made the grammar mistake.

Actually, the professor used the wrong TOO, not the OP

Plagiarism is a serious offense and you shouldn't be accused of that without credible evidence. But I'm gonna vote YDI anyway for turning in your assignment late. This is college dude, the professor pretty much gets to do whatever he/she wants in his/her classroom. You're lucky you were even able to submit the assignment late, some professor accept no late assignments. You can argue with the professor and take it up with his/her department. But next time, take some responsibility and make sure you get your work done early so you don't get stuck in this situation. Oh, and don't get your panties in a wad over a misspelling, it happens

Being accused of Plagiarism is quite a leap from receiving an "F" or a lower grade for a late paper.
