Expletives 'worth marks' for UK students - 01 Jul 2008 - NZ Herald: World / International News

Quote:

British high school students are being awarded marks for writing obscene phrases on their English tests because it shows at least some ability to convey a message.

Peter Buckroyd, chief examiner responsible for training other markers, said the phrase "f . . off" deserved some marks because the phrase met the requirements for minimum marks.

So possibly we can expect some interesting reprimands from Matt W now
