So, I'm supposed to write an editorial, send it to a newspaper, and call it a ******* round thingy? That's retarded, and I would NEVER refer to ANYTHING in that manner, even in email. That's vague and a waste of time...pretty shitty advice coming from an individual that has obviously gone to school in this area...

That is the point I was trying to make. YOU said it was a colloquial piece and it wasn't; it was a formal piece.

Do me a favor, from now on, come on out and insult me bluntly, instead of being cute by calling my work "high school" quality.

Sorry, I seriously thought you were a highschool senior.

Furthermore, I was taught in both high school and college that it is extremely poor form to merely restate your thesis. The entire point of a paper is to reach conclusion, correct?

Yes.... a conclusion which supports your opening paragraph. You veered off topic in your conclusion.

I'm obviously enrolled in a university, since I referred to my instructor as a PROFESSOR.

Your professor should have caught the things I did. Out of curiousity, what school do you attend and what year are you in?

if some ******* hadn't brought my writing style and quality

I have to agree with you there.
