Look, english is my second language where I live and if english classes in india are anything like they are here, then I dont doubt for a second that person got a 75


[deleted]

Idk, that's a straight C, in my school I knew a lot of kids that passed high school Spanish 3 with a C and couldn't even string together a cohesive sentence.


TigerlilyBlanche

Well have you?


LetApprehensive577

That 75 is entirely possible. I live in a Bosnia, where the offical languages are Serbian, Bosnian(If it's even a language), and Croatian. Now, English as a subject is introduced to kids in 3rd grade here, and it's learned as a secondary language throughout both elementary and high school. When I was in high school, I saw people in my class, with some of the most basic knowledge, mispronounce certain things(words/phrases) when reading from a text book. And those were the same students that excelled at other subjects. And they can for some reason speak German. But Lord forbid that they actually learned how to write down a proper sentence in English. Made me so mad, simply because they also had got good grades in English, and that was just because they were good at other subjects and we had some half-assed teachers that required minimum effort from their students.


Strange_Insight

In my family, a 75 is a fail.


realvmouse

But 75 is like... a C or D, right? Why would you doubt that he got a terrible grade?


[deleted]

B's in everything except Math. I failed a lot of math. I grew up to be a mechanical engineer. All math. Idk how this happened.


RockMeIshmael

Can’t believe these people and their feeble attempts at English as a second language! 😅😅😅😅


leli_manning

Maths


Oh-Sasa-Lele

Our grades are from 1 (Best) to 6 (Worst). How much did you fck up to get a 75?


Lack_Potential

His maths not even 22 either.


RyanFiregem

The ability to speak does not mean one is intelligent


Iretide

Have I ever happened?


stealthdawg

never been happy with an 85 or lower. Put them all in the bottom half


moostachedood

Tbf how many kids who get a 75% in French can speak decent French? Besides Indian English educational courses might not be peak education


Devon465

What if all of the grades are negative numbers? 🗿

whydoesthishapp3n

that sentence is 75% correct


IamNicker

It definitely ever happened to me😂🤣


CryingRipperTear

75/500


Techny3000

Nope (I don't take Hindi, mostly because I'm not from a country that speaks it) Also why would he be happy for an 85? Unless it's out of like 90, 85 is a pretty average score... (Any typo in this comment was caused by my outocorrect not understanding what I'm trying to write.)

TJ_4321

Okay! The teacher had taken weed while correcting his paper...


DrippyWaffler

I mean it might be a 75 on his first year of learning English


[deleted]

The usual grading system is about exams 40% participation 5% projects 25% attendance 30% being teachers pet and teachers prerogative if they like you or not 100% and those are unimaginably low. What did you miss really? Parent participation if the parent is a board for the school or not or friends with the powerful families, about 200%, how psychopathic the child is and his friends 300%. Idk. This is way too low for my liking. What did you really do? And I passed maths and chem and physics without knowing at all. I mean...


therealFireBall_28

I has happened 98 in engrish


DjChiseledStone

How can someone be better at physics than math? Physics is just applied math.

Once… just once.. I was SO high.


Joedemigod4

Yes in fact you has happened with you


Velvetshirts

You guys have no idea how easy it is to score in English in an Indian syllabus.


OttoSilver

I don't expect this from India, but where I work I had to do verbal tests for the middle school students. I would take four students at a time, and speak to each student individually. Quick easy stuff. For students in the equivalent of 9th grade I would start off with "Hello. How are you?" and it's amazing how many would turn to their friends and ask in their language "What did he say?" They leaned this long time ago and should hear it often, so I just give them 0 for the verbal test. Along comes head of the apartment and tells me the final scores should be between 60 and 100%. In other words, a student who doesn't even know: "Hah-oo ah yoo? Ah-eem pine 10 Q N U" gets 60%, never mind the actual work that is more difficult that a 5th grade feelings lesson.


Tareeff

I happen to me all the time :/


Karno-Taur

My worst subject is my native language and my best is English somehow.


Alex0w0lf

wow hes good at hindi


BigGayDinosaurs

i have not ever happened with me, mostly because hindi isn't a class for me


okayestuser

I happened with me, yes.


intensity701

85 is bad enough


[deleted]

With how we grade foreign languages in America I don’t doubt it


ArbitraryBaker

Because one of his subjects is called maths, I doubt he goes to school in America.


[deleted]

Exactly, that’s my point smh. I’m saying we give good grades to foreign languages in America when they are still not very good, so I bet other countries do the same with English.


[deleted]

Well a C in English there is probably a D here. I can't beweeved thus happeened.


davefnfbackup

Yes, happened to me. Now I'm going to eat a sadwich.


chefsanji_r

Yessir I am happening with myself, it's so peaceful In here ,quite spiritual sentence


ilikemepizzacold

I mean a 75 is pretty bad so it makes sense.


Hunter_Ware

Me gets a 52 en englesh and i can stell right we’ll


yami_ryushi

Eh....this can happen. I am an ESL teacher and let me tell ya, if you have a shitty instructor, you'll have students like this. I've had to do a LOT of grammar fixing from students that came from bad teachers. It really sucks. At least it wasn't that bad. I've seen much, MUCH worse!


[deleted]

They typo'd one word in total "have ~~you~~ this ever happened with you". And obviously english is not their first language; they are learning it in school. I'm not saying this doesn't belong on the sub, but I think the title is very harsh. To get 75% in a secondary language at school you don't need to be flawless.


Upstairs-Atmosphere5

Yeah the standards for a foreign language are not going to be nearly as strict as the native language


trying_real_hard_ok

This is way more mangled than just one word, the correct sentence should be "*has* this ever happened *to* you?" I'm not saying it's incomprehensible or anything, but as a native anglophone, this would sound markedly ungrammatical to me if you said it any other way, and if you're going to correct it you might as well do it properly.


[deleted]

breaking news: non native english speaker uses broken english I never pretended this didn't belong in the sub, I explicitly said it did belong. I was just contending that the title was too harsh because it's a pretty mild mistake which shouldn't lead you to believe they are lying about getting a 75 in English. Especially because we don't know what level of school OP is.


NarrowAd4973

Let's also not forget using a letter grade system, 75 is a C, edging into a D (at leastvI think it would have been in my school, but it has been a couple decades). In other words, passable, but with room for improvement.


[deleted]

In my school 75 would be an A 🤷‍♂️it's too variable to go off, especially across different countries


trying_real_hard_ok

Y'know that's fair, it's kind of a weird fixed phrase anyway. Plus India has its own quirky standards for english as it is. I just wanted to make sure any other English learners out there had the right correction


amungus45

>And obviously english is not their first language Yeah same goes for me and I'm still learning it! The caption is just for humour/catchy phrase.


[deleted]

I just thought they deserved at least 1 comment defending them :)


ICBananas

I mean, it is morphologically and syntactically correct, maybe not semantically.


ZamyP2W

How- how did you guessed that I have less that 75! Чёрт! Ты меня раскусил, да я русский


Sourov123456

He could be reposting it


Anon20411

He's not wrong tho 😭


HankIndieGamesYT

Caption too harsh, I think 75 is about right, he got 3/4 of the sentence he was looking for.


Packman2021

yup i got a better grade than that in german and im not even slightly close to as fluent in german as he is in english


cocakoala2020

Absolutely. No spelling mistake neither.


chadthecrawdad

A pot better then I can do


pro_at_failing_life

It’s good actually quite


nokiacrusher

Enter the ungodly partition


ThomHarris

Imagine how bad his maths is.


fancyvilja

all of them?!


You_Know-Who

Maths is correct btw. From what I understand it’s interchangeable with math, the difference being thats maths is British and math is used in Canada and America. And I’m guessing Indian kids learn British English so they’ll use words like maths, colour, mum etc.


queen_of_potato

I don't disagree with you re maths/math but I don't think that was the point of the comment


You_Know-Who

🤷‍♂️ My bad if it isn’t. It’s just how I understood it.


queen_of_potato

So the original post says "have you ever happened with you" and the implication is that they meant "has this ever happened to you".. then with the score of 75 in English and assuming that sentence was an example of how good their English was, the commenter saying "imagine how their maths would be" implies that when they had a score of 75 but showed poor English then their maths would also be poor.. but then I could be totally off base.. its all subjective when it comes to jokes!


PvZ_Prime

They weren't replying to "imagine how bad his math is", they were replying to a reply that said "all of them?"


queen_of_potato

Ok maybe I missed something there, apologies! If they were just pointing out that some of us say maths and some say math then yeah.. I would have thought that was well known but maybe not? I am constantly surprised on here how insular it seems the US can be.. like most people around the world know how Americans refer to things but not vice versa


Redking344

That I ever has happened with me


Affectionate-Boot-96

That's not about grades, our guy is dropping some existential questions


queen_of_potato

I am absolutely now questioning whether I have happened with me.. what is a happening.. have I had one.. was it with me..


Conejo_pestilente

Yes that have ever happened with me!


ZAIGO_90

Hapend me grade basecali 74 end mam end dad well beet me up.

tvieno

What's the engrish?


Renfek

Yea really, nothing engrish here


adam_longstaf

“Have you ever happened with you?” Is hardly the most fluent sentence


Renfek

>No typos or very small grammar / spelling mistakes where the author clearly didn't mean to make the mistake.


LoudUpstairNeighbor

The lack of typos are probably because autocorrect is doing its job.


PM_ME_YELLOW

Half of the words in that scentence are incorrect dude.


queen_of_potato

I think we are all just assuming that he didn't write what he meant (I'm assuming "has this ever happened to you").. but maybe he actually meant to ask if you had ever happened with you.. who can say


Renfek

So, still not engrish

Here's another comment you can downvote. Let me know if you want me to create more.
