When I was in school.

Dude scores 2 points on an essay exam with two words. (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080630/ap_on_fe_st/britain_exam_expletives;_ylt=AhE8bZKHsqUg8S10tXCQBTXtiBIF)

Buckroyd said the student would have received a higher mark if the phrase had been punctuated.

British people are great.

You could have stopped at "I wish I had balls."

IIRC my high school's standard grading policy was 50% for content and 50% for spelling/grammar. If he'd have remembered the exclamation point he would have gotten a 50.

This has all the hallmarks of becoming one of those "Urban Legand" type things.

My all time favourite Exam Urban Legend is the one where this student is doing an English exam and the essay quetsion was:

"What is Courage?"

Legend has it that this one particularly articulate student wrote the following:

"This is courage!"

Subsequently he acheived an A+

The extended version of this suggests that he was also boning his English teacher.
