When I go to get my degree in European Law, I will remember this and thank you.
Falconempress, you might be interested in reading Lies My Teacher Told Me by James Loewen. It deals with inaccuracies in history textbooks… and sometimes the inaccuracies are pure invention or simple lies.
Another good one is 48 Lies About American History (That You Probably Learned In School). I can’t remember the author, sorry.
I also don’t know how to italicize words here…
@ drkeiscool
You italicize by placing _ these _ marks around the text, but don’t have a space in between the word and the underscores. Test
You also have to switch the “Format comments as” from Text to Textile.

YAY!
you got it!
Sorry. Now I’m teasing you.
Very funny ‘article’, falconempress, by the way.
God, your text book sounds terrible. Do you have to use that one?
I’ve had similar pains with my psychology text book. It’s boring, not very well laid out without even a contents page per module (the contents only lists the module pages, if you want to find something, prepare to flip through the book for a good few minutes), the topics within each module are laid out one after another without any clear seperation, and sometimes you’ll get case studies shoved mid way through a paragraph. The most egregrious example was a half-page pros/cons list that was split in half by a 4-page long case study.
Thankfully, we’re using a different, better text book for A2.
yup, I do have to use that one:(
@Steph – if this amused you, I am glad. The damn book is good for something then
But not for studying it. New game, guys:
10 fun things to do with falconempress’s useless textbook.
Throw it on Steph’s face.
Blend it, use the resultant pulp to make new paper, print this thread on the paper.
Boil it and feed it to starving orphans. Season lightly with garlic salt as desired. Serves 12.

Mmmm. I love orphans! :D
Use it to play book conkers.
Burn it. Its tradition.
haha, i cant decide which one I like better. Maybe we can do them all! Gradually…yeeees, there is nothing like slow torture….>:)
There should be enough paper there to rip it into smaller sheaves to use for each activity.
Throwing it at Steph would require the whole book though. Best to start from there. At the very end, burn all the smaller sheaves that were ripped. Even the ones that twelve orphans would now be digesting.
Find high-powered magnifying glass. Fill lamp with highest-watt bulb possible. Place glass between “book” and lamp. Before turning on lamp, douse book with kerosene or stud with magnesium for added fun.
Alternatively, cut out each letter and paste them into the words of a hate letter. Send to maker of textbook.
