Been lurking a bit, so I felt I should send an email.
I'm working full time (from home) and in a Masters degree program (online
100%) at Drexel University full time.  It doesn't leave much time for
fishing, but I never was one to brave the cold temps to fly fish much.
Mid-terms are coming up, and for one paper, the professor is preventing the
use of 1st person pronouns as well as prepositions.  I can understand the
1st person pronouns being removed, as that is common - state the facts, and
leave the "feelings" or personal opinions out of the paper.  But
prepositions?  That is absurd.  Here is an example I have of what the
resultant paper will contain:

Example:
"What are you doing, Pete?"
The prior version of the response:
"I'm eating with the family."
Professor's version of response:
"Eating the family."

Therefore, I must conclude this professor is pro-cannibalism.

True story, I just saw it through to its "logical" conclusion...
