i opine that he's a moron

i just want to complain about a certain english teacher (he's not yet in the professor level) who has been teaching in ust for a few years now. i dont hate him. i just dont like him. yes, im judgemental. but i believe that my reason is valid enough.

i don't like him not because he doesnt know what "opine" means, but because he refuse to take a few seconds of his precious time to look at the dictionary and see what that word means. as an english teacher, it is reasonable to believe that he has a dictionary. maybe even one on his bedside table. but how come when he saw an unfamiliar word a mere student wrote, he quickly considered it as a mistake? why cant he check the dictionary for the possiblity that that word may exist in the freaking english language?

i wrote that word in a freaking essay. essay, okay. it's a written form about opinions. so naturally, i wrote: " i opined that....", and that ass put a questioned mark on the word opine and considered it as a mistake. hey, this is not about my grade. this is about my pride. a pride he trampled on because he indirectly considered me a moron. yes, im a moron. but im not that moronic not to know the word opine! just because im a mere student and he's a teacher doesnt mean that he cant learn a new vocabulary from me!
