I used the word poesy in a written assignment, as in the art of poetry. The teacher didn’t recognize it as a real word and deducted points from my grade. She had a policy that we could correct and resubmit for half points, so I did that but didn’t change the word, I just helpfully gave her the definition in a footnote.
Shocked, naive, innocent little me didn’t not know what to think when she took that as an insult. I was only trying to help her, didn’t she get that?!?
This was one of a handful of events when my sister started implying I might have a neurospicy brain. IDK, maybe, but I was just being accurate so I didn’t really see that as anything I needes to address. I thought the overly-sensitive and factually incorrect teacher was the one who needed to self-reflect.
Had the same with an english teacher (in germany), that probably had a smaller vocabulary than me. Whenever I used words she didn’t know I had to argue with her and pull out a dictionary
My English teacher (in Germany) did not know the word “evil”. She concluded I meant to say “devil”, but then the whole sentence didn’t make sense anymore, so she deducted even more points for that.
Hey I have one of these. Maybe not in the typical way, but still. So don’t worry.
For reasons like you describe where neurotypicals aren’t always exactly known for being critical, sometimes I think of how accurate it might be under some definitions to say neurotypicals are the faultily-minded ones.
