Oh thank god. There was a new one up for a week or two now, but the link didn't seem to work. I thought it was just my browser or something, but it looks like it was the site itself. Lol David Thorne.
Also, this fucking group paper I've been working on - two of us had to do the whole thing cause the other chick was like "I'm sick and we may have to ask for an extension!" So we decided we'd just use her work from the presentation to complete it, and if she had anything to contribute/revise by tonight we'd put it in.
Well she fucking emailed us last night with her "revisions" and totally fucked the paper, going over the page limit and muddling a lot of really concise, commanding sentences. She said "I mostly just fixed the grammer (yes, HER spelling) and APA. Passive voice, split infiniatives (yes, HER spelling), repetition of words, etc. You both should turn on the grammer (yes, HER spelling) and spelling function in word as it's useful for correcting the style."
FUCKING BITCH. First of all, the grammar was perfect. Not only did her revisions make the paper too wordy - they didn't make sense! AND, I dunno what the fuck she's talking about with "passive voice", but the initial draft was much more commanding than hers. Also, there's nothing wrong with the way I used split infinitives. Had she fucking Googled it, she'd have learned that it's perfectly acceptable in some instances - like OURS - when it makes the fucking paper sound better!! UGH.
So I emailed her back saying that I took her revisions into consideration, but due to the page limit I couldn't use all of her suggestions. Also, the grammar and spelling function didn't pick up any errors so I changed some things back as they are more concise (lol). I also said that the last paper I handed in got 44/45, so I'm confident we'll do well.
Not to mention that she has a lot of balls to say all that shit when she wasn't even planning on having her shit done on time in the first place! She barely contributed anything!!!
