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.

Well it depends what the school was like and how clever the kids in it were...

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

Its easy to get the first few marks, but it gets much harder as you get more.

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.
