Found this gem of a sentence while reading discussion posts for class:

"After learning what the piece was written in tribute so to speak to, it actually gives me a better understanding of the way it was written."

My brain hurts.

I can't even figure out what they were TRYING to say.

I mean, English is hard. But isn't that for a literary analysis class? For an Associate's degree in Creative Writing?

Actually this one is Intro to Anthropology so an entry-level class. But still.

I sometimes wonder who these people make it to the end of their degrees. I hope their grammar improves. What's even scarier is that I've met people at the end of their degrees in creative writing that write just as badly. How?

Ah, an intro class; that explains it.

Well, I guess a degree in Creative Writing means someone passes the minimum requirements to write creatively, but not necessarily write well.
