..........is "writing exams" not what... you guys say

no we say "take a test" or "finals"

Edited (i say 'sit exams' bc ive been living in ireland for so long tho) 2017-09-03 07:23 (UTC)

ok so sitting is Irish because I don't know what things are American anymore sometimes :(

Edited (I got in a huge argument about whether Americans know what egg cups are) 2017-09-03 07:25 (UTC)

you can "sit" a test in the united states but i feel like it implies a very serious test like the SAT or the bar

Ahhhhhh yeah yeah good point, you do sit those

marin do you ever wonder if they're trying to put one over on us

like it's a big conspiracy and they do say things just like us

Edited (i had to look this up bc i was 100% convinced it was "pull one over" and "put one over" sounds so wrong) 2017-09-03 07:23 (UTC)

i see their point but technically? "writing" is more correct

what if it's all multiple choice

YOU STILL HAVE TO WRITE YOUR NAME AND CLASS, ALEX

you can bubble those in on a scantron

oh hell yes

My friend Edward says "eat medicine" instead of "take medicine" because I guess that's how it's phrased in Chinese and he always says "technically, it's more correct" and I'm like but???

english is a stupid language, cheryl, stop DEFENDING it

It is stupid and we have the French to blame.

it just makes me so weirdly perturbed to imagine my pharmacist telling me to eat medicine

I'm p sure he had to adapt since he became a pharmacist

i think "pull one over on" is widely used enough that it's probably fine, but it seems like it's a mixed idiom of "put one over on" and "pull the wool over one's eyes"

that's what the first result on google told me so i took it as gospel

wait do you "write tests"?

yeah

"i just wrote my spanish test" and "i just had my spanish test" 50/50

i feel VERY strongly that this "write exams" terminology is Bad

no it's Good it's Right Don't Wory
