Important notice from the GRAMMAR POLICE. Plz read. This means you.
rufio:
As I said, I was mistaken - I didn't remember exactly what you said.

True. I was mostly thinking of major time-commitments or costs to the teacher/professor, since that seems to be where rohina is coming from here, but that probably adds up too, especially if she gets as many LD students as she claims.

I don't have any particular faith in rohina's experience, no.
Completely made-up bullshit:

You are so stupid it hurts sometimes. The fact that you remember rohina telling you at some point that she DID live in Australia means that you were present for a conversation in which she used the past fucking tense.
In fact, she used the present tense, which you would have understood if you knew anything about how tenses work in reported speech. Since you are clearly having trouble, let me rephrase:
rohina said (in the past), "I live (in the present time of the past utterance) in Australia." = rohina said (in the past) that she lived (in the same past time) in Australia.
Contrast:
rohina said (in the past), "I lived (in the past time before the past utterance) in Australia." = rohina said (in the past) that she had lived (in the more remote past) in Australia.
Is that clear enough for you?
More bullshit (which also includes an implication of lying), which people have already called you on, since you have short-term memory problems and can't remember this happened a page ago:

If you make a blanket statement that contains no actual information that looks just like a mindless rant about Communism/whatever the fad is now, yes, I am going to be skeptical until you actually back it up with something that looks genuine.
Those are just the most recent ones.
rufio:
Again, I think you are just seeing what your persecution complex wants to see. Before I'm going to trust your experience as a professor, I want to actually hear some specifics (which you gave). Something that looks like a baseless rant is going to continue to look like a baseless rant until it is backed up, regardless of who says it. It has nothing to do with you personally.
My explanation to Jelly was an explanation of what I said and how tenses work using you as an example since that was what we were talking about. What I said turned out to be mistaken, and I acknowledged that you were right about that. The grammar lesson has nothing to do with that.
rohina:
What persecution complex? Do you make contact with reality at all? Like, maybe, checking in for 5 minutes once a day?
Jelenedra:
I just think it's endlessly funny that rufio gave me a lesson on past tense when I am not the dumb ass that thought rohina LIVES in Australia.
Also, word to the wise, if you don't want rohina feeling *snickers* persecuted *roffles* maybe you should STFU about her.
To paraphrase Lorelei: Disabling the ability to type "rohina": would it cause you endless distress and an inability to communicate, or would you work around it? Discuss.
