Yesterday, I got back a German exam and I scored 13 points! Which is very cool! Yay! But do you know what would've been even cooler? If my teacher hadn't had to conduct on point 'cause of my mistake ratio (is that an actual word?). D: I could have scored 14 (!!!) points if I just could remember to make commas while writing! Every mistake I made (except for one) was forgetting a comma! Forgetting 26 commas in only 1100 words. That's... talented... And just because I don't have time to read it, after writing. I bet I would have caught them... D:

Anyway so my mistake ratio (doesn't sound like a word...) in German is 2.6.

Now let's compare that to my English mistake ratio (I can't shake the feeling I made that word up... <<) which is only 0.4.

It just isn't fair! I'm supposed to speak my native language WAY BETTER than a language I TAUGHT MYSELF 'cause all my teachers sucked. DDD: And... argh! >__<

That makes me a fucking sad panda! D:

Ratio is a word, don't worry! XD It's often used to compare numbers. Like, if I took a test that had 10 questions and got 7 right, my ratio would be 7/10.

That sucks about the German test. D: Punctuation can be such a pain sometimes. Personally, I'm a comma-whore, so if I took a test like that the teacher would probably tell me to stop using so many commas, damnit! XP I'm surprised that you weren't able to read your work once it was done. Wazzup with that?

B-but on the bright side, you got a great score in English! Better that you score poorly in one than to score poorly in both, right?

Phew, thank God! xD

Time was up. Whe had 100 minutes to write the exam. I wrote and wrote and then the time was up and I had to hand it in before I could proofread it. ._.

Yes, I guess you're right. But it's just unfair that German punction is so much harder than the English one. There lots and lots of books written only about German punctuation rules, and they keep changing them constantly! D:

I see that some memes are cult noweadays. I've seen so many versions of this one... Although I didn't know it was an emo thingy.

I never know how to use commas myself too ... vor allem seit der Reform *is old school*

Why don't you get the Stowasser at school? You have to learn Latin there, but they don't give you an accurate dictionary???
And Han Solo is indeed very cool! ^^
Did you change any question?

Commas are confusing and evil! D:

We have this Langenscheidt thingie we can use during tests... and I like it better than bringing (or buying... xD) a Stowasser 'cause it has grammar infos... ;D
Yes~! <3
No, I didn't... ^^; I was too lazy to think...
