ICTChris Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Capital letters banned by Leeds Trinity University https://metro.co.uk/2018/11/19/lecturers-banned-from-using-capital-letters-to-avoid-upsetting-students-8154365/ This isn't "snowflake generation" students, it's idiotic university administrators. Looks like people inventing things to keep themselves busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Is Leeds Trinity University any better than the Kirriemuir University of Basket Weaving or Forres College of Scratching Your Arse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only folk inventing things are newspapers looking for clickbait headlines. No one is banning capital letters and all this is is someone twisting a basic style guide memo to make a bunch of idiots in Halifax feel some weird faux outrage. And if a university lecturer NEEDS to use capital letters to explain that something is important maybe THEY NEED TO WORK ON THEIR USE OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. Or at the very least how to use bold, underline and italics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banana Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 That statement PR littered with 'Progressive' talking points and obfuscation, doesn't actually address anything. If anything, it underlines the shite going on. #showusthememo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'Progressive' PR is more than enough to raise suspicion about the kind of shite going on, regardless of the contents only of the memo. Regardless, #showusthememo.

AL-FFC Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Seen the ones about Marks the woman went on to say "as a feminist and a mother", i would like to know why no blokes have not complained about a Suit being a must have for Christmas are they assuming we are all tramps and needing to smarten up a bit or is the fact we just don't give a sh*te and don't feel the need to be offended.

Sexy knickers are simply a human rights abuse #getprogressive Anyone who says otherwise is a misogynist who probably prefers women with hairless legs & armpits, and a BMI under 45.
