I love the world for its inherent humour. So does Alfred, who recently mocked English students failing to understand the words “despotic tyranny” for their history A-level exam. These students have started up a Facebook group ("'Despotic Tyranny' ruined my life") where they whine about this. Of course, Corrupt was there.

Among all the hilarity one could pull out, I like what Kirsty Marion Wallace-Herbert wrote:

Kirsty, you're the one demonstrating being an immature childish twat by commenting on a page that
A) so many have done before
and
B) joining a group just to bash the people in it
How much of a loser are you? lolz

Wait, so the reply is essentially "WUT, U POINT OUT OUR FAULTZ, ELITIST"? Impressive, even for English students. More from the UK Commentators blog:

...in our wider reading which I assure you myself and other students at my sixth form completed, the focus was not on Hitler as a despot but on how the system of government impacted everyday life and how it operated.

How much imagination does it take to apply your knowledge of "how the system of government impacted everyday life and how it operated" to "Hitler as a despot"? Apparently, too much. No great authors or philosophers from this generation of students, either. Oh well, life goes on, and we all get a laugh from those who haven't figured this out.
