High school students in Sweden write a diploma essay, a kind of a research project, during their third year. It follows an academic process, so part of the work involves disputation of someone else’s work. Ingrid is reading through someone’s essay and has strong opinions about their subpar writing skills, and how much harder that makes it to read and understand the essay. Using fancy words to sound sophisticated while not really understanding those words; being sloppy with commas; losing track of where your sentence construction was going. I tell her to pity her poor teachers who have to read this kind of writing all the time.
