British teen finds it pays to swear on exam
Examiner felt obscenity showed 'some meaning and some spelling'

LONDON - A British high school student received credit for writing nothing but a two-word obscenity on an exam paper because the phrase expressed meaning and was spelled correctly.

The Times newspaper on Monday quoted examiner Peter Buckroyd as saying he gave the student — who wrote an expletive starting with f, followed by the word "off" — two points out of a possible 27 for the English paper.

I don't think it matters....if he got 2/27 I expect his grade was also an expletive starting with "f"

For the last 7 1/2 years the rabid reichwingers have been getting by with using that 2 word epithat to clearly express their thoughts on civil, constitutional, economic, environmental, political and other issues with GREAT success until 2006. We'll see how 2008 works out for the "f**k off" crowd!!!!!!!
