So, my instructor replied back to me.

You know, about the HTML coding issue.

Well, come to find out, I was right.

I received less points for doing extra work on an assignment.

Well, sort of.

His direct response was more of the "Well, you didn't do it the way the book did it."

Umm... what?

What about the HTML validator?

"Well, that's just for checking the syntax."

And...

"Well, just don't do the future assignments unless they're in the book."

Okay...

So... let me get this straight.

What I did wasn't "technically wrong".

Just aesthetically.

And you, dear professor, are teaching me that even though the W3C organization - the rulers of what may be in the HTML and CSS world - are totally okay with what I did... you're not.

So, you're grading me on your preference?

I kindly wrote back the idiot professor, and informed him - duly - that he has now revealed to me his said "teaching style."

That it's not a style based off of what I'd ever experience in the real world (sans a**holes).

It's just something in "his" world.

And since I didn't ESP his brain enough, I missed out on one point.

Duly noted, professor.

Duly... noted.
