My prof gives out $2 for every error we find in the textbook. I noticed that it misspells the word colour a lot (they forget the u). So I found every instance of this (125 in total) and sent him the page numbers. At $2 per error that comes to $250.

I got $0.

On a fairness scale from 1 to 10 with 1 being fair and 10 being unfair, I give it a 1.

No, you spelled it wrong.

It is color.

Get spell check.

He obviously doesn't like u's. 😉

However, it seems he also tricked you into reading the textbook in excruciating detail, so he obviously cares about you and your U(niversity) education.

Feel used?

Leave Canada and come to Britain, where colour always has a U. Well, mostly - we've got a few thickies and some foreigners who insist on the easy spelling.

The excruciating detail was limited to spelling though, so she probably missed all the content.

Sue him, Raven!

BTW, this is always a good idea, doubly so if you have a lawyer in the family.

I'll answer that if you answer my question first:

Q. Are you drunk right now?

Are you drunk all of the time?

I don't know how many times I have said I haven't drank since March 22, 1992.

OR are you just trying to be RUDE?

OR sucking up to Raven?

See multiple choice for you! 😛

Whoops! I honestly didn't know you're recovering. The fact that you haven't had a drink since March 22, 1992 is very commendable. Congrats!

(I was just trying to figure out why your sentences never sound quite right, I'll move on to hypothesis B...)
