Because apparently, I mis-spelled "color". I've always spelled it with a "u" and now it creates a problem. A big one. Basically, I worked my ass off typing out a 3 page paper on why quartz is an important mineral and he thinks I copied the entire essay off of some website because color is spelled with a u. What a load of shit. In order to prove him wrong, he wants me to bring a copy of my paper in on a flash drive. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but I don't own a flash drive. I included a works cited page and I reworded the entire thing, and most of my information was taken from class.
tldr; I failed a paper because of mis-spelling "color".
Your teacher is a BIG ripped and bleeding asshole.

Use a DVD or CD, or email it to him.
Hell if you have a newer phone you can probably plug it into your computer and store the file wherever it saves pictures at.

I'd yell at him until he gives me a perfect score.
Beat him to death. That always works.

That's "What the fuck?" in Spanish.
Your teacher sounds like an asshole. We use software in our school that checks for plagiarism in essays and assignments etc. Maybe you should get the school to use that to stop teachers from being douches
.
"Que Chingados???" haha esto me hizo reir
I mean This made me laugh, i imagine you wrote that right?
hehe
I once had a teacher who writes on his tests :
"i am god an you will fail this test"
Music is my passion , not my business.
Tell him to type in a few sentences into google to see if anything pops up.

I'm using that if I find out I didn't pass the Spanish 2 semester test I took today.
The simple fact is that some people will never be happy, no matter how good their lives are.

Speaking of ripped and ass hole, you should rip him a new ass hole, OP. I would freak out on that guy.
Wow. What an idiot teacher.
Just wait, it'll get worse when you get into high school (if you're not now). You'll have to get used to writing essays without using contractions, "I", and ambiguous words like "thing," and "stuff" while keeping in the contrived and ever-changing rules of MLA.
Tell her/him to search a few sentences on google and see if anything pops up. I doubt it would if the paper is original. Get used to the stupidity of teachers now, though. Sometimes you'll get lucky, but sometimes you'll hit walls and get teachers that are complete rubbish. Don't sweat it. If you're innocent, you can prove it.

I shall use a U in the word from this point on.
Because I wanna be more of a rebel anyway.
Why did you spell colour with a 'u' if you live in America?
Surely Microsoft Word would have told you that it is the incorrect spelling.

Oh heavens me!
You expect me to know how to use the English language by the time I get into high school?
Whatever shall I do!?

Argue it. Go to the school administrators and demand that they straighten this shit out. Spelling a word according to a slightly different idiom is NOT justification to assume that you plagiarized. Have them put your essay through some software that scans for plagiarism and prove that you're the original author.
Seriously, fight that shit.
I always use the original spelling as well, even though I'm out of high school and I live in the United States.
damn amurkians and their spelling
I sometimes accidentally do that because I visit the Internet and every so often see it spelled with a u.
So uh... I did google the short passage we saw in the picture and came up with this...
"Quartz sand is used as a filler in the manufacture of rubber, paint and putty. Screened and washed, carefully sized quartz grains are used as filter media and roofing granules. Quartz sands are used for traction in the railroad and mining industries. These sands are also used in recreation on golf courses, volleyball courts, baseball fields, children's sand boxes and beaches."
Here is the essay passage for those that don't want to scroll "Certain sized quartz grains are often used as filter media. Sands are used for [...] rail roads, and the[y] are also used in recreation on golf courses, volleyball, [...] fields, children's sand boxes, and artificial sand on beaches."
Though in your defense. For a report on quartz I don't really know how much you can do aside from copy-paste.
That's retarded. Just because you spelled colour CORRECTLY. Your teacher is a dick.
