HA!
You refer, I presume, to the GCSE English classes where the volative has
been renamed "the if tense"; where, in Wales, some school's are teaching to
pluralise like that; where we learn about "onompatopoeia" and what a
semicolon is; where the teacher cannot spell fairly easy words like
"incorroborable" ("incorrobible" was mine's best effort); where the teacher
thinks that "graffiti" is spelt "grafitti" and is a non-counted Italian
noun; where the teacher often forgets to capitalise and use punctuation;
where we spend hours studying rubbishy books like Of Mice and Men and then
answering questions like how the author used imagery to convey a sense of
desperation in character n.
If I actually believed what I was told in there I'd be another txt-tlkin
chav. Thank $DEITY I already knew that it was all a pile of smegma.
