I actually read waterlemons right, but I read the second line wrong.
I read it as “I hate waterlemons”
No idea why
Well do you?
I realized this is why I can’t be editor on my own creative writing. With hundreds of pages of work, it’s very easy for the writer to already know what they intended to say, and interpret that from the page on a quick glance.
My brain is so good at detecting patterns that I realize that I shouldn’t even engage with this
I don’t consider a test writer being an insufferable pedantic asshole to be any kind of reflection of my own abilities.
“Oh, you didn’t consciously turn off 3.5 billion years of evolved pattern recognition that functions correctly 99.9% of the time for the purpose of getting my disingenuous gotcha question right, on a rigidly timed test designed to put you under intense time pressure? lol”
I’ll tell you where you can stick your test.
You wrote that wrong, I read it correctly.
I’ve been deliberately misspelling Untied States since Trump has been back in power. It often goes unnoticed
Another boomer meme 🥱
Maybe we should build better exams
Whoa whoa, and lose the ability to mock students? Let’s not be so hasty now!
Counterpoint: I speed read memes and carefully analyze exams for this exact kind of trickery
Counter counterpoint: me too but other way the around
Well the exams are more private than a public Internet comment section, so understandable
Caught it on waterlemons.
Nice try pointing out my cognitive biases, but they also protect me from changing my mind based on the evidence
Welcome to dyslexia!
You mean lysdexia???
Dyslexics of the world untie!
I have lixdyxia ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
This level of pedantry is not good to foster unless you want all of your words, systems, and rules questioned.
Burned once in primary school by this trick. Never again. Fuck you teachers for doing dumb shit like this.
at the top of a two page quiz (single side, two pages stapled). read through the entire quiz before beginning.
question 1 immediately follows, an easy one even the dummies can answer.
question 10 on second page. print your name in the top right corner of the first page and then answer this question and this question only (and it’s something that’s an opinion, not even a ‘right or wrong’). turn the quiz over when completed, and sit quietly until the bell rings or instructed otherwise.
what’s the intended lesson tho? To always read words letter by letter? How inefficient, sounds more like a cognitohazard instead of a lesson
I got a T shirt eons ago ($7, couldn’t stop myself) that said “I have a dig bick/You that read wrong/You read that wrong too”. I can’t wait to find a younger shithead to gift it to now that I’m old enough that I’m expected to be vaguely dignified.
