I’ve finished the first day of camp, just fine, but I came home to pick up some bedding and my PC and I found a big piece of dog poo in the inbox of my email.
It’s an email all in Korean, asking why the guy got an F in his English class. Not a single word of English, not even an attempt to communicate with me in the language I was grading him on. And he’s wondering why he got an F. And it’s not signed with a name at the end, but the user’s handle is the name of a Greek god.
I’ll show you the response I sent him.
Hello,
What is your name? I don’t think your name is “Zeus”, but there’s no other name on the email.
Did you just send me an email asking about your grade in English class?
And did you send the email without your name? Without your class number? And without a single word of English in it?
Are you still wondering if you deserve a higher grade? If so, you can email me again, in English, with some information so I know who I am talking to and what I am talking about.
Gord
Good grief, as if I’d consider raising his grade for sending me an email without any English in it.
