Agreed, but it's not a choice of one or the other. Though I know nobody here in real life I have come to think of many as my friends (except Batty, of course!)
and sometimes just talking to them has helped.

That would be a little unfair in my opinion. The answer itself is correct, but Student B used a different method to arrive at the answer. The same could be had if for instance a Physical Training Test two different people are given a different standard for a push up.

Off-topic slightly, but it does remind me of a story our history teacher used to tell us about a paper on which the question was phrased "Write all you know about the Hundred Years War" and this guy wrote "I know nothing about the Hundred Years War." They had to give him 100%. You can bet they changed the phrasing after that!

I know it's a little thing, but come on: the guy is pouring out his heart and you're correcting his ****ing grammar? I mean, I'm a Grammar Nazi too, one of the worst, but time and place, ya know?
