I recently had occasion to recall an incident of the
stupidity of youth. At university I had to write and pass a first year
Afrikaans exam. So in true ‘Mark’ fashion I did my preparation and went to sit the
exam. I read through the questions carefully as was my custom. Took time to
contemplate my answers. Picked up my pen …… and wrote “I hope you have a merry
Christmas.” and left.
It has lead, led me to wander, wander………is the fact that you
can speak a language fluently but not understand its intricacies the difference between pass or fail????? No one has ever asked me to conjugate a verb
in a discussion.
Is that what you would regard as irony or iron knee to….two…too???
