On low level classes definitely. However, my senior classes, and such were pretty hardcore. I was an English/History double Major, with a journalism minor so I had some pretty heavy shit my last year. Contractions still don't belong in professional works however.
I had a professor who circled every instance of passive voice, every to be verb, and every contraction. He then wrote those numbers on the top of the essay and included that in his rationale for the grade he gave. I learned very quickly
^That was something that always pissed me off about Zoklet, Why did it have to be "it is so good to hear it" and not "it's so good to hear it". Contractions make sentences sound much smoother and easier on the ears :mad:

Haha. yeah. Some of those hardcore bastards will change your habits pretty quickly.
My goal is actually to be professor. I'll be assm at it. :hai:
Maybe your school phails? I completed my bachelors 4 years ago.
Next thing you know, they will add "ain't" in to the diction...... FUUUUuuuuuuuuuuu
I hear they're adding "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-" to the dictionary as well.
