The students speak

Here follow a few excerpts from a certain well-known university’s very own student newsletter.

On distance education…
· Students are not happy about the current situation that they are encounting due to the fact that they are not indulged to attend full time classes. WE ALL KNOW HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO ENCOUNT PROBLEMS LIKE THESE, DON’T WE?
· Accommodation is not available for them to have a possible resting place where it is secure for students to stay in Pretoria for their studies at _______.

On future writers…
· This was a year were by most average students i.e. IT, Economics, Management etc founded themselves falling in love with poetry and writing short stories. Blessed with the heavenly gift, the three earthly angels Patient, Zweli and Jazz gave birth to Oceans Therapy poetry session well known as OT. Even thou the founders are not 100% involved lately due to their studies, we are proud to say that “______” is one of the universities that has and still continuing to produce the best poets and writers. SJOE, REALLY?

On striking, injustices and wherebys…
· The South African students’ congress (SASCO) converged on a peaceful march on the 12 of March 2008 whereby they handed their memorandum to the department of education.
· The unavailability of the minister posed questions to the students whereby they allege that she is not taken them serious. I CAN’T IMAGINE WHY…
· For two weeks students have been narrating their frustration in arms and stomping feet at their premises of higher education.
· Vandalism is administered by the patriarchs of their SRC.
· Some students believe lectures should not blame students for taking unauthorized vacations during this chaotic time
· It is said that students aren’t getting benefits from their study loans and their credit contracts are not well explained to them as to future payment. Those who are failing their subject are cut of from obtaining loans. THE BLOODY CHEECK!


On condomising…

· Ladies and Gentlemen: safety comes first but if you can’t help it BUTTLE-UP for your protection, because it might be a bumpy ride that can take your life.
· The condom phenomena have got a lot of issues that need to be taken into concentration. OKAY, CONCENTRATE REALLY HARD NOW.
· Condoms are dominating in our nation today. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE ANC?


WTF?
· Are the critical periods of students requisition really dissipated?
· In the history of fraud, the universities of South Africa have caught students with fake matric certificates. They discovered 21 registered students. The ice breaking issue has been going all over the country concerning this matter.
· ________is the University of High Professionals where this kind of fraud will never be accommodated to the end of endless education TO INFINITY AND BEYOOOOOOND!

Out of Ours thumbs!

Ours recently wrote a test and you can see quite clearly where the gods of brains must have mistook their thumbs for their heads. This is the reason for some of the answers, or it is the reason I am clinging to for the sake of my sanity (which is low at the moment).

Question: Give the word class for "your"
Answer: Abreviate noun. Preposition.
Question: Give the word class for "microbes"
Answer: Micro-organism
Question: Give the word class for "Louis Pasteur"
Answer: Person

Question: What are two ways in which words are formed.
Answer: Words are formed by scientists
Words are formed by alphabets

Question: What is an uncountable noun?
Answer: It refers to many things not just one specific.

On the whole you have to give them credit for their creativity but on the other hand you have to wonder about the "hope of the future" that gets questions like this wrong...
