S & Z..

I've been writing reports 3 years in poly diligently, and a joker in my course came to ask me to change my spelling errors in an essay of mine.

So I replied after running through my essay once, 'what is it what i am supposed to change?'
'those spelling errors'
'what spelling errors?'
'there are so many red underlined words can't you see, did you even put in effort to check through your essay before sending?'
'Well, I checked through, and I am very sure that those words being underlined are just a matter of British and American spelling.'
'then change it'
'why should I? Singapore uses British English. so S, not Z..'

-no reply afterwards-

Moral of the story: always be 100% sure of something before correcting others like you're some pro shit. Please do yourself a favour and spare yourself from the embarrassment. If you're unsure, don't speak. Nobody would say you're an idiot that way.
