My biggest... "pet peeve" of the movie is the fact that every time you hear bagpipes in the film they are Irish Uilleann Pipes and not Highland Pipes... Even in the one scene where you can see Highland pipes being played it is uilleann pipes. The reason? They sounded nicer than the actual Scottish variant. I know that is minor compared to the historical inaccuracies but that is what gets me

It's a historical inaccuracy unto itself.

I was just as shocked when my second Algebra II teacher spent an entire hour explaining to us real world applications of the math he was teaching. I still think he was lying. It can't have real world applications.

Did you take the trajectory and whatnot into consideration before you threw the bottle?

Not a klein bottle! The most useless kind of bottle! Also now I can't orient from right or left!

Ew, he's old enough to be your grandfather, and your father

He was 39 during the movie. My dad was more than a decade his senior.

Also the movie effects make him look younger okay?

I remember when my Geometry teacher was explaining matrices and said, "This is pointless and has no applications at all unless you're planning to work for, like, Pixar or something. But it's on the EOC so I have to teach it."

Because the Scots may be conquered, they may be required to live in a British nation, but they will be damned if they are forced to wear underpants.

Every math teacher I have had since 9th grade has been... easily distracted. At least once a week we asked the real world implications and they would go off about it for the whole period; and we just sat around and talked and every so often throw something out there relevant to what (s)he was saying to make it seem like we were paying attention.

Not what I was saying "wut" to.

I worked out for myself that Algebra was good for showing a formula.... Never really thought about it further than that.
Having said that, I'm better at Algebra than i am at "real math", so I'm perfectly fine to do it even if it was useless.

Mine was relatively worse, as she didn't give any real life applications and just said basically, "Because I have to, and it's on the MCAS"

This is the country that produced Sean Connery.
I doubt they care.
