A Letter

Dear Dr. Carbone,

Pluralism, as defined by a Google search:

  1. The condition of being multiple or plural.
    1. A condition in which numerous distinct ethnic, religious, or cultural groups are present and tolerated within a society.
    2. The belief that such a condition is desirable or socially beneficial.
As you have used pluralism as a noun in one of the countless inane multiple-choice questions you added to what clearly should have been a predominantly essay-based test, and as, according to this definition, I correctly eliminated the answer containing the word "pluralism" from the other three answer choices, and as, despite you being a very pretentious dick, I have made it to the majority of your classes this semester, I would like the two points you deducted from my test grade to be reinstated.

It is not my fault that you use words (the definition of) which are largely out of your grasp, and therefore I should not suffer from your ignorance.

Sincerely,
Kate Ponte
