I remember once in secondary school
Where I was given an assignment by a teacher - a fellow B3tan, no less - to write up a 2000 word essay on the cultural relevance of the QotW and its reflection of contemporary society.

I won't post the entire thing - I overshot the word limit by a good 1000 words or so - but the gist of it was:

An old establishment, steeped in it's own unique culture, which is almost uniformly regarded by every one of it's members to have been much better in the past.

I thought it was an excellent piece of writing, eloquently but concisely worded. I got it back and atop it in red pen was the annotation:

Shit question. Try again next week.

That's not spelling.
More marks deducted.

If you deduct points
from the points that were deducted, does that not mean I have in fact gained points?
