[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still want to know more about the poster who took AP English "through high school" (and college!) and studied two semesters of "Old English."

Details, please!

Maybe she took AP English, composition one year and literature one year, hence through high school and repeated while in college, that’s not that rare.

Old English can be a semester of actual Old English (think Beowulf), and a semester of Middle English (think Chaucer).

Why are you nitpicking?[/quote]

DP here, but if she or he took all that, my guess is that they overdid it and never want to  see a "thy" again.[/quote]

And? Why are you the judge of what people’s academic interests should be? So what if they never want to see a ‘thy’ again? People change career direction all the time. [/quote]

You've lost the plot here. The point is there is one poster who continues to say that they studied Shakespeare in depth and don't think it's important to be part of the DCPS curiculum. Perhaps that person is turned off by it because of over exposure.[/quote]

Ok, but why not discuss their arguments for why Shakespeare is not important instead of the English classes she took. Seems that you are contesting her position on Shakespeare by attaching the veracity of her experience in the English classes she took.

I hope you all agree veracity is way better than forsooth in making someone look cultured.[/quote]
