I hate people who make false assumptions from the bottom of my guts.

I hope you can realise the frustration I am feeling right now, a feeling that I have been able to largely avoid since I began feeling it this morning. Apparently my physics teacher has been telling my IB Coordinator that I am copying material from the internet and pasting it, and that he should be aware of that. (She had already hinted such a thing when I was writing my Extended Essay, and I had told her time and again I would not and do not copy material from the internet without citing). I cannot fathom what kind of person would begin to assume such a thing without first knowing my style of writing, especially since her level of English is clearly inferior (and I am writing here in a somewhat angered tone). Moreover she is prone to false assumptions and wrong interpretations: when I had said a certain Mr.S was 'preoccupied' so he could not get photocopies for her class, she interpreted that as 'Mr. S was not willing' to get photocopies, and she promptly went ahead and told Mr. S what she heard. I get blamed for saying that he was unwilling. As if! This teacher truly and fully exasperates me. Truly. You'll probably understand why I will never ever consider and take her opinions seriously. I'm beginning to think some teachers feel that too.

Just because I happen to be Japanese and I happen to like the Internet does not mean I have to write in a primitive and grammatically incorrect English form, nor does it mean that a good command of the language automatically implies copy and pasting...
