No wonder no one likes the yanks.

Yea, i did open myself up for criticism, and can see how my informal style can be easily criticised.
I can also see why you feel it necessary to put me down, believing i need it.

Im not here to look smart, i just wanted a bit of advice.
Frankly i dont care if u think im dumb or not i know im intelligent...
Even my mom said so.

You asked us a question:
Basically my question is can u get screwed by subjective marking?

Sure, there are instances where you can. But, if you have experienced the downside of this supposed subjective marking throughout your entire academic career, you probably just aren't as smart as you think you are and that is why you receive lower marks. Or, you are smart but your work just sucks.

Yeah, it's blunt - sorry, welcome to the internets.
