>gives me a weird look and says no he has not

Threadly reminder that Lindsay Ellis actually makes YouTube videos that are related to literature (and is even responsible for a hot new /lit/ meme), but you only wanted to post ContraPoints, who has absolutely nothing to do with literature, to trigger /pol/tards who can't handle seeing a transgender person.

This is perhaps a bit different but I hope you guys can give me your advice, since this is most likely also true for trying to get published:

I am having issues coming to terms with writing not that seems best to me but what my professors prefer to see. I realize I will jeopardize my grade if I instead of following the profs advice, write as I see fit; specifically in sentence structure, length, and most frustrating to me, the fact outdated words, or words not typical in usage even for an essay ought to be omitted.
How do you deal with managing to write the style someone expects from you therefore going against how you yourself would typically write? This is especially annoying since it varies from prof to prof, some more lenient others harsh and penalizing.

Is he, dare I say it, our guy?

The duty of philosophy is to break the power of the words over the soul. Most our issues stem from the vagueness and ambiguitiy of the words, like yours. We need to look at words in context and then we cant say what a sentence says, but only see.

>Therefore he is a woman
>You have not proved me wrong

Fun discussion, what about this:
Shakespeare was a man. Prove me wrong.
