Grammar too!

I kid. But really, while we cannot expect everyone to do their best at English or even write perfectly 100% of the time (everyone is guilty of the occasional dodgy expression or typo) it isn't hard to right click the underlined words on your browser.

Particularly "wen ur xpresin ur borken hart at da thot of gng in2 tht xam nw ;_______; my lief r runt!!1" as an Honours English student.

It sets us apart. At least boards has some degree of credibility thanks to the standards around here....

I'm certain they'll only change the questions and not the poets to be quite honest. If they did it would ruin predictions for upcoming years, and while the SEC can blag on about "you should do 5 poets" it's not like patterns are there just for the lulz.

Brilliant so even they have no f*cking clue whats going on during this whole mess, restores my faith in them completely.

Why should students suffer for human error =/

Look as I said earlier forget a leak IT DID NOT, AND COULD NOT HAPPEN!

BUT
If your looking for tips on what to study, take out a poetry book study Keats, and then do up a list of different and alike aspects for cultural context!

Looks like you all jumped to conclusions and started getting anxious and angry! :rolleyes:

This whole Louthgate affair really has been incredible. 120 pages!

If you type in English leaving cert paper leaked, the fourth entry is about an alledged conspiracy! They were in it for the money apparently!

When the results come out if people do not as well as they expected, they will automatically blame it on the Engish paper 2 "fiasco".

It's good to see the next generation of Irish adults are well versed in whining, moaning and looking for excuses for their own downfalls.

Was waiting for that

It's the internet. Obviously you're not going to go into your english exam using txt speak. Do you use full grammer and proper spelling when you're texting a mate?
