that's just lame....
so if thats the case then students preparing for english exams shouldnt really care and write a whole bunch of blasphemy and still get away with a few marks just cos they have spelt it properly and used appropriate punctuation.

Assalamualaykum

Quote:
According to the report, to gain minimum marks in English GSCE papers — an exam taken by hundreds of thousands of 16-year-olds across England every year — pupils must demonstrate "some simple sequencing of ideas" and an ability to put "some words in appropriate order".
OMG!!!!

OK, seeing as I am doing my GCSE's next year my answer to: "describe the room you are sitting in" will be:

I am sitting on a hard back brown chair, in a very wide and spacious room full of tired 16 years old, how boring is this? The room is painted a dull browny yellow colour with lots of ... cobwebs! Ewwwwww;scared of spiders.

That would get an A, wouldn't it? In red are the punctuation

Assalamualaykum

I think this is great. Its about time we got beyond arbitrary taboo words.

Racial slurs are one thing, but words like the F word are taboo simply for the sake of being taboo. The reason why they are taboo is long long forgotten and keeping the taboo is nonsensical.
