Advice for the Lit-Lorn

Dear Geist,

Why did my history prof take off marks for writing that a certain general in history was “aggravating”? I had plenty of evidence, including one primary source. When I asked him, he assigned me to figure it out because he wants all his students to be perfectionists like him.

Dear Aggro,

—is as likely to be a pedant as a perfectionist.
