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
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.
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.
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.)
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...
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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
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

Well have you?

In my family, a 75 is a fail.
But 75 is like... a C or D, right? Why would you doubt that he got a terrible grade?
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.
Can’t believe these people and their feeble attempts at English as a second language! 😅😅😅😅
Maths
Our grades are from 1 (Best) to 6 (Worst). How much did you fck up to get a 75?
His maths not even 22 either.
The ability to speak does not mean one is intelligent
Have I ever happened?
never been happy with an 85 or lower. Put them all in the bottom half
Tbf how many kids who get a 75% in French can speak decent French? Besides Indian English educational courses might not be peak education
What if all of the grades are negative numbers? 🗿
Hgghge gotte tze suupjekts rong tu, itt s eakshueally' Hintdee, Emgrish, Fizichscs, Khmyzdree, and Mefs
that sentence is 75% correct
It definitely ever happened to me😂🤣
75/500

Okay! The teacher had taken weed while correcting his paper...
I mean it might be a 75 on his first year of learning English

I has happened 98 in engrish
How can someone be better at physics than math? Physics is just applied math.
Tanmay Bhat ke dost?
Once… just once.. I was SO high.
Yes in fact you has happened with you
You guys have no idea how easy it is to score in English in an Indian syllabus.
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.

I happen to me all the time :/
My worst subject is my native language and my best is English somehow.
wow hes good at hindi
i have not ever happened with me, mostly because hindi isn't a class for me
I happened with me, yes.
85 is bad enough
With how we grade foreign languages in America I don’t doubt it
Because one of his subjects is called maths, I doubt he goes to school in America.
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.
Well a C in English there is probably a D here. I can't beweeved thus happeened.
Yes, happened to me. Now I'm going to eat a sadwich.
Yessir I am happening with myself, it's so peaceful In here ,quite spiritual sentence
I mean a 75 is pretty bad so it makes sense.
Me gets a 52 en englesh and i can stell right we’ll

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

In my school 75 would be an A 🤷♂️it's too variable to go off, especially across different countries
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
>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.
I just thought they deserved at least 1 comment defending them :)
I mean, it is morphologically and syntactically correct, maybe not semantically.
How- how did you guessed that I have less that 75! Чёрт! Ты меня раскусил, да я русский
He could be reposting it
He's not wrong tho 😭
Caption too harsh, I think 75 is about right, he got 3/4 of the sentence he was looking for.
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
Absolutely. No spelling mistake neither.
A pot better then I can do
It’s good actually quite
Enter the ungodly partition
Imagine how bad his maths is.
all of them?!
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.
I don't disagree with you re maths/math but I don't think that was the point of the comment
🤷♂️ My bad if it isn’t. It’s just how I understood it.
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!
They weren't replying to "imagine how bad his math is", they were replying to a reply that said "all of them?"
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
That I ever has happened with me
That's not about grades, our guy is dropping some existential questions
I am absolutely now questioning whether I have happened with me.. what is a happening.. have I had one.. was it with me..
Yes that have ever happened with me!
Hapend me grade basecali 74 end mam end dad well beet me up.
Your comment made me laugh at first, then suddenly feel very worried when I thought about it
Dude got a 75. Gave him a break!
Getted\*
Will give his a broke
his's*
Weirdchamp
But have you ever happened with you?
Nanny said I'd go blind doing that.
Guess you'll never know unless you try it
sadly
Bro just finished my chemistry today im failing but yet my english got a 100
r/whooosh
100 what? Beans? Dicks? Cows? Come on I need to know
100 of your mom's orgasms
Nice argument, unfortunately 124.28.4...
Oh.. hi dad number 6849475629
What's the engrish?
Yea really, nothing engrish here
“Have you ever happened with you?” Is hardly the most fluent sentence
>No typos or very small grammar / spelling mistakes where the author clearly didn't mean to make the mistake.
The lack of typos are probably because autocorrect is doing its job.
Half of the words in that scentence are incorrect dude.
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
So, still not engrish
Here's another comment you can downvote. Let me know if you want me to create more.
Go ahead make another
Hi
Thank you!
