Reactions to arguments made in papers and exams

This may be updated as new examples pop up.

1. Commas are punctuation, not neurological states.
2. PVS patients do not communicate via gestures and grunting. You are confusing them with primates and/or Neanderthals.
3. "Veggie/vegetable" is not a diagnosis.
4. HIV and AIDS are not two different viruses.
5. It is nice that you can spell "protease inhibitor"; please make sure you do the same for your first name.
6. Papers in an applied ethics course asking you to identify and discuss ethical issues must actually contain ethical analysis. Or at least the word "ethics".
7. Please do not misspell words when I have spelled them correctly in the question you are answering.
8. Only one of these spellings of "fallopian tube" did not occur on the final exam: "filopian tube", "falopian tube", "flaopian tube", "Filipino tube". Take a guess.
9. You are in college, taking a final exam in medical ethics. Now is not the time to dot your "i's" with little hearts. Especially not the terms "abortion", "infanticide", "euthanasia", "underinsured", "palliative care", "higher brain death", or "terminal illness".
