[Oops...I did it again...]
Remember recently I had posted a very angry entry about this girl whom I had to work with on one of my modules? That was just the first project...The second one is due tomorrow. And yes, she's decided to fuck things up once more.
I spent the afternoon in school, working on another project. When I got home, after having dinner and stuff, I started working on my presentation for tomorrow. I did not present the first time round, so I had to this time. I looked through the PowerPoint slides, and thought of what to say. After which, I went to our IVLE community to download the latest copy of the report to see if I've missed anything out.
The latest copy was uploaded by her (big surprise). The one before that was uploaded by my other group member. I opened her's, since it was the latest, and I got a rude shock.
I don't know that the fuck she did to the formatting, but our reference superscripts were all out of whack. Reference point 6 came after 10, at a sentence that had no meaning whatsoever. It's hard to describe, but basically someone had to read through the whole report again to repair all the reference points. Guess who? .......
But that's not the worst part. The worst part was that she's decided to change some of the stuff I wrote. I wrote:
Traditionally when a potential customer wants to buy a car, he walks into the car showroom and gets entertained (read: confused) by the salesperson. He would be able to see the car model he's interested in, but he's unable to see it the way he wants to, with customized paint job, seats, etc. In essence, he's putting money down for something he has yet to really see...
She changed it to:
Traditionally when a potential customer wants to buy a car, he walks into the car showroom and will be served by the sale engineer. He will get to see the car model he is interested in, but he is unable to see it the way he wants to personally customized paint job, seats and etc. In essence, he is putting money down for something he has yet to really see the final product.From BMW international website, www.BMWusa.com, there is customization sevice that allows potential customers to pick out the colors of the car's paint job as well as other accessories that they like. At the same time, the website keeps track of the costs of all the extras. This allows consumers to budget for the accessories they want, as well as see and not imagine how the car could actually look like.
Ok, can someone tell me what the fuck is a "sale engineer"? Just because you're an engineer (yes, she's in Engineering) doesn't give you the right to rename everyone else's job title. The rest of the bolded sentences, I honestly don't know how to poke fun of them...They've done the job themselves. It's like reading something written by a child.
Next up...She added this:
This is a marketing strategy that hopes to draw branding awareness among gamers. These brands may come across to the gamers' mind when they feel hungry because it may have unconsciously planted the brand into the users' back of brain.
God help me...Make up your fucking mind...Do you want to use "gamers" or "users". And you want to "unconsciously" plant a brand? Wow...That'd be new. And who the hell uses "back of brain"?
I don't claim to be Mr. Webster or anything....But seriously, your English sucks. Someone with your command of English should not be editing someone else's work.
Thank God there are no more projects for this module after this. I'd never work with her ever again.
Stupid bitch.
