      In my meta-analysis of this paper I will propose that the writer being honest and vulgar to the reader in a professional setting is actually a treatise to demonstrate the effect of the language of “doublespeak” within 1984. in this paper I will…

    Jesus fuck, you censor the word “motherfucker” but leave the author’s name intact?

        They want to be able to cash in on algorithmic fame. That’s also why they sensor swears. Because the advertisers don’t like them and then the algorithm drops posts with naughty words.

      The water mark makes me believe whatever BoredPanda is got some rights to share the tweet and they censored mother fucker, but maybe the tweeter didn’t care to have their name censored.

      I’m curious how 1984 is AP Lit. We read that years before AP classes were even available… Does that mean they get college credit for reading Orwell now?

        The difficulty of texts from AP literature versus my honors English courses prior to it weren’t very different. And no, you got college credit for completing the AP exam which involved reading passages and writing essays, not merely reading Orwell lol.

        There are university classes analyzing children’s picture books. It’s not about the difficulty of the book, it’s about the level of the analysis.

        1984 is quite unique as a piece of fiction, since almost a third of the book is an appendix about language and history. It’s an excellent book to analyze.

    Because I’ve seen this sort of thing happen several times in various contexts, I’ve long said that you should never write something you don’t want to send. Not even as a joke that you plan to immediately delete. It’s amazing how your brain will unexpectedly hit “send” instead of “delete.”

          You should be able to go into your sent folder. Click open the email in a new window (not auto-preview). Then File > message recall. It might be different depending on what you’re using, but most of the time you look around the sent folder.

      For projects like this (longish and a product of several sessions) including levity for the sake of your own motivation is fine.

      What isn’t fine is missing proofreading steps before sending.

    I had an english professor that actually demanded an intro like this. He said write ANYTHING as long as you can hook the reader and link it to a thesis statement, and there is no bar to that link.

    I used to write intros like that as placeholders because I always wrote the real intro once I was sure where I was going with a paper. I learned to make placeholder text red and all caps after almost making that mistake.

    Contact your prof and explain the mistake. When I was a prof, I would have been amused by your brain fart and probably wouldn’t have docked you much, if at all, if you explained what happened.

    I teach for a living and this wouldn’t negatively impact the grade. But real talk you’re usually using a rubric anyway unless you want admin breathing down your neck after a disgruntled student takes issue with the A minus you gave her.

    I don’t grade papers, but I imagine a bit of flavor stands out favorably from all the other very generic writings.
