I have a friend, let's just call him Mr X. He got back his biology papers and found a cross on one of his answers. He doubted the teacher's markings and asked me what is the correct answer.

I took a look at his answer. I said, "Your answer is wrong."

He says, "The question asks in what organ is the sperm found. Isn't it the testis?"

He continued, "Is the spelling wrong? Isn't it t-e-t-i-s? My answer is right, isn't it?"

I replied calmly, "Erm...no. It's t-e-s-t-i-s for singular and t-e-s-t-e-s for plural.

And he went like this...

I never said it was anyone in particular. I just referred to him as Mr X. And X can be anyone.
